Corvallis Wildfire Readiness Fair Set For May 2 To Help Community Prepare For Fire Season (Photo) - 04/30/26

May is Wildfire Awareness Month. The City of Corvallis and partner agencies invite community members to attend the free Corvallis Wildfire Readiness Fair on Saturday, May 2, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Corvallis Community Center.

This drop-in event will provide practical information to help residents prepare for wildfire season. Topics will include home evacuation planning, creating defensible space, and building go-bags. Attendees can also connect with local responders, explore preparedness resources, and learn ways to reduce wildfire risk at home.

The fair comes as local and regional partners continue coordinating preparedness efforts ahead of wildfire season, including public education, emergency planning and community outreach. Benton County will also team with Lincoln County in May for a regional Wildfire Preparedness Month campaign focused on prevention, readiness and public health.

“With wildfire season approaching, preparedness starts at home,” said Sierra Anderson. “The Wildfire Readiness Fair is a great opportunity for community members to learn simple steps they can take now to protect their families, homes and neighborhoods.”

No registration is required. Community members are welcome to stop by at any time during the event.
