Klamath, Lake, Harney, and Malheur counties make up Oregon's vast high‑desert interior - huge in land area, sparsely populated, and shaped by agriculture, ranching, and public lands - with Klamath County the most populous and tied to farming, forestry, and outdoor tourism; Lake County defined by remote rangeland, timber, and geothermal resources; Harney County dominated by federal land and cattle operations around Burns; and Malheur County oriented toward irrigated agriculture and Intermountain West culture along the Idaho border. With a primary focus on the built environment, targeted efforts include improvement of structural resiliency to wildfire, enhancement of defensible space for homes and surrounding structures, ensuring adequate access and egress in the event of wildfire events, and overall improvement of structural fire prevention efforts through community risk reduction efforts.
