Safety Message:
Check on neighbors, friends, family, and outdoor animals to make sure they have the resources they need to be safe during this wildfire event (heat, food, water, medical and animal needs).
Be cautious when removing tree debris from your driveways and/or homes or other structures –
unstable debris can create a safety hazard while removing. Try to work with more than one person or make sure someone knows you are outside and have time to check in.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning – Generators or other devices powered by fuel that cause fumes should be placed outside the house to ensure safety. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that often goes undetected, striking victims caught off guard or in their sleep. The National Safety Council recommends you install a battery-operated carbon monoxide detector in your home near the bedrooms.
Boil Water Notices: Check directly with your service provider if you are on city water service that may be disrupted during this event.
Driving Conditions: Our weather and road conditions in many areas in the county are still considered dangerous driving conditions.
If you are choosing to leave your home during a power outage be sure to turn off all major appliances especially any items on a stove or heating device. When the power is restored the heating device stove will reheat and possibly become a fire hazard.
Health and Medical Resources:
If you have a non-emergency medical supply need (meds, oxygen, supplies) contact your primary care provider/supplier first. If they cannot assist you contact the Lincoln County Public Information Call Center at 541-265-0616. If this is a medical emergency call 911.
Air Quality:
There is not a local air monitoring station in Lincoln County. If visibility is under a mile, then air quality is very unhealthy or hazardous. If smoke prevents you from seeing more than three miles in any direction, air quality is poor. This means you may want to stay indoors or take other precautions.Weather and smoke levels can vary dramatically during wildfires. This can vary not only daily, but also hourly. Smoke may also affect one part of a community but not another. This can make it difficult to provide you specific health warnings, especially when conditions change quickly. Some people may experience health effects even when the air is unhealthy for a short time. It is important to take precautions based on your individual health and the smoke levels around you. This may mean staying indoors when air quality is poor. It may also mean not exercising during these conditions. If air quality remains poor–generally, for more than one day–then the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the health agency can issue a health advisory. Refer to the Oregon Smoke Blog http://oregonsmoke.blogspot.com or local media for updates. Smoke levels change over the course of a day, sometimes dramatically so air quality may be unhealthy for an hour or two at night but may be good the next morning. You should also rely on visibility (how far you can see during wildfires) to decide what precautions you may want to take.
Limit your exposure to wildfire smoke.
Reduce time spent outdoors.
Reduce time you negate in vigorous outdoor activity
Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water.
Reduce other sources of indoor smoke and dust.
Check current air quality conditions – http://oregonsmoke.blogspot.com/
If you have heart or lung or respiratory illnesses such as asthma, follow your health care provider’s advice about prevention and treatment of symptoms.
Food and Water Resources:
If you are experiencing a long-term power outage be mindful of food safety issues, refrigerator and freezer temperatures. If you are returning home after a long-term power outage (more than 2 days) you need a way to verify if the items in your refrigerator/freezer maintained appropriate temperatures before cooking/eating them. Frozen foods at or below 0°F and refrigerators at or below 40°F to be considered safe.
