About the Committee
The Jackson County Forestland-Urban Interface Classification Committee is tasked to classify areas within Jackson County that meet the criteria of forestland-urban interface lands, as described in the Oregon Forestland-Urban Interface Fire Protection Act of 1997. A forestland-urban interface area, as identified by the Oregon Legislature, is “a concentration of structures in an urban or suburban setting” that is “subject to increased [risk] of catastrophic damage by fire events.”
 
The committee is composed of five members. Three members are appointed by Jackson County, one by the state forester, and one by the state fire marshal. One of the county-appointed members is a landowner who lives in a forestland-urban interface area.
 
The Jackson County committee held its first meeting March 12, 2003, and completed its mapping and classifcations October 8, 2004. The committee re-convenes every five years to review its forestland-urban interface maps and fire-risk classifications. The Jackson County Forestland-Urban Interface Classification Committee is scheduled to re-convene in 2009.
