The fires that ravaged the Santiam Canyon over Labor Day weekend in 2020 marked a significant disaster for local communities, with recovery efforts initiated immediately, yet the process of rebuilding homes and public infrastructure has painfully lagged, hindering community healing.
Despite the prompt initiation of recovery efforts in the Santiam Canyon post-fire, the slow pace of rebuilding has significantly hindered the healing process for affected communities, illustrating how the disaster's impact continues to reverberate.
Logging operations in the burned forests have further complicated recovery endeavors; while immediate healing measures were applied, the subsequent logging has delayed the natural restoration process, creating additional challenges for the ecosystem and community.
