May is National Wildfire Preparedness Month and with summer weather on the horizon, Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative (OTEC) remains proactive in our efforts to mitigate the ever-changing risk associated with wildfires to meet regulatory requirements and keep the communities we serve, our members, and our employees safe.

Guided by the Cooperative Principal of Concern for Community, OTEC will be holding five public town halls in the four counties the co-op serves to share information to our member-owners on our wildfire mitigation plans and Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS). The one-hour meetings will be held in these local communities:
