GILLIAN FLACCUS and ZACH URNESS Associated Press and Statesman Journal View Comments OTIS Wildfire smoke was thick when Tye and Melynda Small went to bed on Labor Day, but they weren t too concerned. After all, they live in a part of Oregon where ferns grow from tree trunks and rainfall averages more than 6 feet a year. But just after midnight, a neighbor awakened them as towering flames, pushed by gusting winds, bore down. The Smalls and their four children fled, leaving behind 26 pet chickens, two goldfish and a duck named Gerard as the wind whipped the blaze into a fiery tornado and trees exploded around them.

Environmental justice will defray risks to communities Robin Morris Collin © Submitted photo Beachie Creek Fire impact on the Opal Creek Recreation Area east of Salem. The main stream in this picture is the Little North Santiam River. When vulnerable people get sick, when vulnerable communities burn, when they are us, our family members, our neighbors – it matters. The year 2020 exposed how under-investment can devastate our communities, our people, and our state’s economy. And the problems of the pandemic, fires, pollution that threatens air, water and land aren’t going away any time soon. How we approach solving these issues will determine how efficiently and effectively we succeed. We need solutions that are effective, efficient and equitable.
