Identifying Health Care Access Gaps in Areas of Oregon at High Risk of Respiratory Hospitalization During Wildfires
The results demonstrate a process to facilitate wildfire preparedness in Oregon. This process could be adapted to inform wildfire resilience strategies in other regions facing similar challenges, such as California. Understanding local needs allows officials to target communications more effectively, stage resources more efficiently, and identify gaps that can be addressed before a disaster strikes.
