These teams are knocking on doors and directly engaging community members on whether they want help with removing large fire debris from their property. Notifications are being left for those who are not home, informing community members of such fire debris removal and providing an email address if assistance with large fire debris removal is needed. The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has advised that it is safe to pick up this debris yourself following its guidance.
