Coos County Emergency Management holding meeting to address citizen questions

BY NATE SCHWARTZ Editor

After a tsunami alert, an unprecedented fire season, and the current wildfires ravaging Los Angeles, Coos County will be more concerned than ever over questions regarding emergency preparedness. To help alleviate some of those concerns the Coos County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Management team is holding a meeting and presentation titled ‘Tsunami & Wildfire Evacuation or Sheltering in Place’ at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day, at 6:30 PM on Saturday January 25th.

The meeting will contain information on how to prepare for an environmental emergency

like a tsunami or wildﬁre, and experts will be providing answers to the community’s questions.

Emergency Coordinators Debbie Mueller and Chip Delrea will be hosting the free training and information session with input from several local organizations. A Spanish interpreter will also be present.

“Because of the chaos that occurred with the tsunami warning that we had on December 5th, we wanted to have an opportunity to speak with the public about what happened and how we can do better,” said Debbie Mueller, “There was a lot of chaos in terms

Second wave of Oregon ﬁreﬁghting headed to California

BY LINDA LEE Country Media, Inc.

Oregon is sending another wave of firefighters and water tenders to assist in battling the devastating fires raging across Southern California.

The Oregon State Fire Marshal (OSFM) announced Saturday, January 11th that six additional strike teams, comprising thirty water tenders and seventy firefighters, will be deployed to aid in the firefighting efforts in California.

The teams, hailing from Clackamas, Columbia, Coos, Curry, Douglas, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Morrow, Multnomah and Umatilla counties, will join the ﬁfteen strike teams that arrived earlier in the week. Southern California is bracing for continued extreme ﬁre weather provoking dangerous conditions in the coming days.

“We understand the severity of this crisis and are leveraging the strength of the Oregon Fire Mutual Aid System to provide

Homelessness solutions one of LOC legislative priorities

BY JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc.

Homelessness and housing challenges continue to be issues throughout cities across Oregon.

Homelessness and housing are part of the nine priorities adopted by the League of Oregon Cities’ (LOC) Board of Directors for the 2025 and 2026 Oregon legislative sessions. The priorities have been identiﬁed through a committee process during the spring of this year, and a vote by the LOC’s 241 member cities this summer.

The following nine issues received the most votes and were adopted by the LOC Board:

1)Community Infrastructure and Housing Development

Funding - The LOC will advocate for a comprehensive infrastructure package that supports increased water, sewer, stormwater, and road investments from that state. Without continual infrastructure investments, communities cannot build needed housing; these two priorities are inherently linked. To this end, the LOC will advocate for continued state investments to support the development and preservation of a range of needed housing types and affordability.

2)2025 Transportation

Package - The LOC will support a robust, long-term, multimodal transportation package focused on: stabilizing funding for operations and maintenance for local governments and ODOT; continued investment in transit

and bike/ped programs, safety, and congestion management; and completion of projects from HB 2017. This objective includes support for a transition from a gas tax to a road user fee and improved community safety and livability.

3)Recreational Immunity - The LOC will introduce legislation to protect cities and other landowners who open their property for recreational purposes from tort liability claims.

4)Behavioral Health Enhancements - The LOC will support legislation to expand access to behavioral health treatment beds and allow courts greater ability to direct persons unable to care for themselves into treatment through the civil commitment process.

5)Lodging Tax Flexibility - The LOC will advocate for legislation that increases the ﬂexibility to use locally administered and collected lodging tax revenue to support tourism-impacted services. These services include public safety, community infrastructure, and housingrelated investments.

6)Shelter Funding and Homeless Response - The LOC will support a comprehensive homeless response package to fund the needs of homeless shelters, homeless response efforts statewide, and capital projects. Funding will include baseline operational support to continue and strengthen

coordinated regional homeless response and include a range of shelter types and services and other related services.

7) Address Energy Affordability Challenges from Rising Utility Costs - The LOC will support actions to maintain affordable, reliable, and resilient energy resources and invest in programs and new technology that support energy efﬁciency, renewable energy, battery storage, and resilient communities. These efforts will

help address members’ concerns about increased costs associated with energy usage.

8)Operator-In-Training Apprenticeships - The LOC will advocate for funding apprenticeship training programs and expanding bilingual training opportunities to promote the workforce development of qualiﬁed wastewater and drinking water operators.

9)ORS 195.530 Johnson v.Grants Pass - The LOC will advocate public policy

that allows cities to respond to the unique needs of their community’s housed and unhoused members. This advocacy will include adjustments to ORS 195.530 to provide cities with the necessary tools to address unsafe camping conditions, safeguard public spaces, and protect the health, safety, and wellness of all community members.

How many people have been president of the United States? History surrenders this secret grudgingly. Several people technically were president, but aren’t considered presidents of the United States. You have to look hard to ﬁnd them, but they’re there.

For example, George H.W. Bush was acting president for almost eight hours in 1985 while Ronald Reagan had colon surgery. Dick Cheney did likewise in 2002 and 2007 when his boss, George W. Bush, was anesthetized for colonoscopies. The 25th Amendment was also invoked for Kamala Harris for 85 minutes on Nov. 19, 2021, when Joe Biden was under anesthesia. Then there was David Rice Atchison, who may — or

HOLY COW! H RY: Meet America’s six-minute president

may not — have been president for one day in 1849. With another Inauguration Day upon us, it’s the perfect time to revisit the most obscure “Substitute-in-Chief” story of all.

Harry Truman never wanted to be president. He got the job anyway when Franklin Roosevelt died in April 1945. FDR was a hard act to follow, and Truman was largely unknown outside his home state. Would he be up to it?

He jumped in with determination and made one major decision after another: approving the Marshall Plan, the Berlin Airlift, and the use of an atomic bomb — twice. Harry clearly could handle the job.

Yet, when election time rolled around in 1948, the odds were overwhelmingly against him. Democrats had held the White House for 16 years, and many folks wanted a change. Republican Tom Dewey was a tough challenger. Virtually nobody gave Truman any chance of winning. Public opinion polls, national

columnists and political insiders unanimously said Truman would be buried in a landslide. Everyone agreed.

Except for Harry Truman. He shrugged them off, hopped aboard his campaign rail car, the Ferdinand Magellan, and logged 20,000 miles over several grueling weeks. (By comparison, that’s almost one trip around the Earth.) He stopped to speak in any town, big or small, where people wanted to hear him.

And that down-to-earth strategy worked. On Election Day, he pulled off one of the greatest upsets in American political history. The Man from Missouri had done what literally everyone said was impossible.

So naturally, Truman was more than ready to savor his triumph on Inauguration Day.

A huge crowd turned out on Jan. 20, 1949. An additional 10 million watched in 14 cities on the brand-new invention of television. More people saw Harry Truman being sworn in that day than had witnessed all previous presidential inaugurations combined.

However, there was a bad mistake. And not surprisingly,

it was Congress’ fault. The Constitution specifies the president’s term begins at noon on January 20. Exactly four years later, it expires. At 12:01 p.m., he’s no longer president. Which is why the inauguration ceremony is timed to the minute so the oath can be administered precisely at noon. That didn’t happen in 1949. Members of Congress were 10 minutes late arriving at the Capitol’s East Front. (The ceremony wouldn’t be moved to the more spacious West Front until 1981.) They took an additional 10 minutes to find their seats. When the program finally began, it was 20 minutes behind schedule. Incoming Vice President Alben Barkley took his oath first, as tradition dictated. He wasn’t sworn in until 12:23. Since Truman’s term had officially expired 23 minutes earlier, the office of president was vacant during that time. As the constitutionally designated presidential successor, Barkley was the acting president of the United States.

Open Statement to the BAH Board

Letter to the Editor

Since June 2024, I have urged you not to pursue a partnership with an outside health services company, as it poses signiﬁcant risks to our hospital and community. While the Board believes remaining independent is riskier, I urge you to reconsider this view.

The Board holds two key powers: voting on major decisions, such as partnerships, and hiring or dismissing the CEO. It is the second power that I believe needs addressing.

Since Mr. Moore became CEO in 2019, his leadership has been marked by troubling decisions. His time at St. Mary’s-Corwin Hospital in Pueblo, Colorado, is a striking parallel to our current challenges. Under his leadership, critical services were cut, leaving the hospital in turmoil. The facility’s struggles persisted even after his abrupt resignation. At Bay Area, Mr. Moore inherited ﬁnancial challenges, but his decisions have only worsened the situation, such as the disastrous rollout of the EPIC system and neglecting insurer contracts for nearly a decade. Further, alarming decisions include hiring a COO with a criminal conviction for embezzlement in 2022 and outsourcing billing to Savista, which led to delayed payments at a crucial time. Bay Area is now on the brink of defaulting

on the very loan Mr. Moore inherited. Yet, he repeatedly deﬂects responsibility, blaming COVID, external vendors, and investment restrictions, while cutting departments, cutting employee beneﬁts, laying off employees and leaving his own compensation untouched.

After the June 2024 Finance Committee meeting, I asked Mr. Moore what would happen if the hospital declared bankruptcy. He responded, “I don’t know! I don’t even want to know!” This reﬂects both fear and a lack of due diligence, undermining conﬁdence in his leadership.

My ask is simple: Do not accept Mr. Moore’s recommendations. Hire a healthcare turnaround consultant who specializes in managing challenges like ours. Prioritize the hospital’s future over protecting any one individual’s reputation.

To concerned residents: Talk to your hospital Board members. Come to Board meetings. Email the Board at denise.bowers@ bayareahospital.org. Check social media for updates.

Sincerely,

A long prayer and much hot air followed. Harry ﬁnally put his hand on the Bible at 12:29.

Technically, Truman was a private citizen during that sixminute gap.

In a practical sense, it didn’t matter much back in 1949. The Age of Terrorism was decades in the future, and while the Atomic Age had begun,

there were no intercontinental missiles or long-range bombers to allow the Soviet Union to take advantage of the situation. All this is a technicality, of course. However, lawyers wouldn’t exist without technicalities, and many presidential legal scholars (yes, there are such critters) agree that for those six minutes on Jan. 20, 1949, Alben Barkley technically had the authority, if not the ofﬁce, of the presidency. You can stump your friends with this bit of arcane trivia at your next neighborhood barbecue. And if you ever happen to be elected president yourself one day, make sure Congress shows up on time.

Firefighters

our neighbors with crucial support in combating the wildfires and safeguarding lives and property,” said State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple.

The significant deployment includes some of Oregon’s newest tactical tenders, recently acquired by local fire agencies through the OSFM Engine Program.

In total, Oregon has mobilized a substantial force to aid California, to include: twenty-one strike teams; seventy-five fire engines; thirty water tenders and three-hundred seventy firefighters. The deployment was authorized under the Emergency Management Assistance Compact, which allows states to provide mutual aid during emergencies. The costs associated with the Oregon crews will be reimbursed

by the State of California. According to the National Interagency Fire Center website, the United States Forest Service has activated eight Department of Defense C-130 aircraft equipped with modular airborne firefighting systems (MAFFS) to assist with fire response. The eight aircraft join other municipal, county, state and federal agencies fighting wildfires in the greater Los Angeles area. As of this printing, three

major fires are consuming the Los Angeles area: The Palisade fire, which is near the city Malibu and Highway 101; the Eaton fire, which is near the southern basin of the Angeles National Forest and the Hurst fire, which is located north of the city of Los Angeles along the I-5 corridor.

As of January 12th, the Palisades Fire is eleven percent contained with 23,713 acres burned. The Eaton fire is twenty-seven

percent contained with 14,117 acres burned and the Hurst fire is eighty-nine percent contained with 799 acres burned. The fires are still under investigation and no current official cause has been released to the public.

It should be noted not to rely on social media posts for accurate information regarding the fires and the general public should seek information at official government websites to get complete information.

If you are looking for someone impacted by the January 2025 fires in Los Angeles County, or you want to inform your family of your safety wellness. Please, contact the Red Cross at (800) 675-5799. For the latest information on the California wildfires, please visit the CAL Fire website at: www.fire. ca.gov. This is an on-going story and will be updated when more information becomes available.

The Pirates went on to place eighth in the tournament that features 16 teams from each of the five wrestling classifications in the state.

Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of Oregon Revised Statutes. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision.

Trustee before the time you tender the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, to- wit: The loan has matured and all balances due under the terms of the promissory note dated 10/11/2023 have not been paid, including the balance of principal and interest, along with late charges, foreclosure fees and costs, any legal fees, and/or advances that have become due.

Upcoming trafﬁc enforcement: seat belt safety campaign

The Coos Bay Police Department (CBPD) will be participating in a statewide seat belt safety campaign from January 27th to February 9th, 2025. CBPD officers will be doing enhanced patrols with a focus on seat belt safety, education, and enforcement.

During the seat belt safety campaign, CBPD officers will use federally funded overtime to enforce and educate the public on safety belt laws.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over 25,000 vehicle occu-

pants were killed in 2022, and half of them were not wearing safety belts. Using a safety belt is the single most effective way to protect yourself during a crash, and the CBPD wants to see all residents buckled up.

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading nationwide

cause of death for children ages one through twelve years old. In 2022, 1,697 children under twelve were injured in Oregon traffic crashes, and 16 percent were reported not using a child restraint system. It is estimated that car seats may increase crash survival by

71% for infants under one year old and by up to 59% for toddlers aged one to four.

Booster seats may reduce the chance of nonfatal injury among four- to eight-year-olds by 45% compared to safety belts used alone.

In 2017 an Oregon law was passed requiring children to ride in a rear-facing safety seat until they are at least two years old. A child over

Judith (Judy) Ellen Stebbins

November 4, 1946 – December 25, 2024

Judith (Judy) Ellen Stebbins of Albany, Oregon, passed away peacefully on December 25, 2024, after a courageous battle with cancer.

Judy was born on November 4, 1946, in Coos Bay, Oregon, to Jeanette Daisy Brannian and Hubert Holly Brannian.

After graduating from Reedsport High School in 1964, she pursued her passion for teaching at Southern Oregon University, earning her degree in education in 1968.

Judy began her teaching career at Klamath Union High School in Klamath Falls, where she spent three years before moving to Crater High School in Central Point. There, she met the love of her life, Ronald David Stebbins.

Judy and Ron were married in Reedsport, Oregon, on July 24, 1971, and shared a beautiful life for 53 years. They raised two children, Andrew Mac Stebbins (Beaverton, Oregon) and Megan Michelle Stebbins (Albany, Oregon), filling their home with love, laughter, and countless cherished memories.

For more than 25 years, Judy and Ron lived in Newberg, where she worked at A-dec and Ron taught at Newberg High School. Judy wore many hats at A-dec and was always eager to learn and grow. Her dedication and love for learning led her to supervisory roles in the marketing department, where she helped introduce desktop publishing and brought the first digital camera to the photo studio. Her attention to detail and commitment to quality were unmatched.

After retiring from A-dec, Judy and Ron embraced a slower pace of life in Sisters, Oregon for 17 years, eventually moving to Albany in 2015 to be closer to family.

Judy had a zest for life and found joy in the little things. She loved books,

puzzles, and spending time outdoors— whether it was gardening, kayaking, riding her electric bike, or going on RV adventures with her sister, Cathy. She adored her grandchildren and was their biggest cheerleader, attending school events, games and sharing in their interests. Her happiest moments were family trips and camping outings with the grandkids.

Judy was preceded in death by her brother, Thomas Holly Brannian. She is survived by her sister, Catherine Jean Holmgreen; her husband, Ron; her children, Andrew and Megan; her daughter-in-law, Maryanne; and her beloved grandchildren, Scarlett and Liam.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the American Cancer Society.

Judy’s legacy of love, strength, and kindness will live on in all who knew her.

Robert was born March 25, 1937 in Aberdeen, South Dakota, the cherished son of Amos and Dorothy Wright. He passed away December 26, 2024 in Coos Bay.

Bob grew up in a loving family, alongside his siblings, John; James; Dorothy and Ramona. Throughout his life, he maintained a deep bond with his family and built meaningful relationships with those around him.

Bob spent most of his life in Oregon and graduated from Marshfield High School in June 1955. He proudly served his country in the United States Army, earning two honorable discharges and a commendation for his marksmanship with the M-1 rifle. Following his military service, Bob built a long and dedicated career as a commercial painter, working for JW White Paining for many years and continuing even after retirement.

On November 27, 1990, Bob married Deanna Wright in Reno, Nevada. Together they shared a life filled with love and family. Bob was known for his selflessness, sharp sense of humor and soft-spoken nature. He never judged others and earned the respect of all who knew him. In his free time, he enjoyed elk hunting, woodworking, painting, archery and riding Harley Davidson motorcycles. He also cherished his nightly beer and occasional whiskey.

Bob is survived by his wife, Deanna Wright; daughter, Kimberley Caldwell of

Wilsonville, Oregon; stepchildren, Debra Wright of North Bend, Oregon; Dennis Crane of Costa Mesa, California; Dean Crane of Los Angeles, California; and Daryl Crane of Vancouver, Washington. He was a proud grandfather to Justin Hamilton of Canby, Oregon; Brandon Wright of Coos Bay, Oregon; Ian Crane of California; and Caitlyn Wright of Coos Bay, Oregon. His legacy also lives on through several great-grandchildren.

Bob’s memory will live on in the hearts of his family and friends. May his legacy of kindness and humor bring comfort to all who knew him. Arrangements are under the care of Coos Bay Chapel, 541-267-3131. Family and friends are invited to sign the online guestbook at www. coosbayareafunerals.com

Will Lampe is a Portland-based comic originally from Kentucky. He and Everett appeared on the Sawdust Theatre stage last March. Birkholz said Lampe’s “comedy stylings are like a Swiss Army knife, because you’ll leave thinking ‘that little tool can do it all.’ Come to the show, let him know what you think, and he will adjust his selfesteem as needed.”

Soul of Wit Productions began bringing comedy shows to Coos County in the summer of 2023.

As I See It

I’ve chosen to share three articles from the front page of the March 9, 1933, Western World for this week’s history stories.

“Woman’s Club has Program” is the headline of a story about the constructive work carried on by the important women’s organization.

“A report on the magazine drive for relief netted the club $28, of which $10 has been used to purchase shoes for needy. Mrs. H.M. (Norma) Howe as school nurse, under the supervision of the American Legion Auxiliary, reported visiting the grades one day each week. She stated that the undernourished children receiving milk under the club’s arrangement have gained from three to six pounds since the previous examination. She also reported that a pre-school clinic will be held in Bandon during the latter part of April. In connection with the school health work the Legion Auxiliary is also supplying the first aid kits and ointments for skin disease.

“The report on the salvage shop stated that one dozen pairs of shoes can be put into good condition by repair and that Mr. Breuer (Mike) (first photo) will do this work at little or no cost.” His shop was located in the west end of what was known as the Breuer Building, at the end of First Street between the Coast Guard building and the former Edgewater’s Restaurant. It survived the Fire of 1936 and today serves as a vacation rental.

The second article is headlined “School Year Is Shortened,” as the Bandon School District decided to cut school from nine to eight months. Pictured is the Bandon High School in east Bandon, which survived the Fire of 1936 and continued to serve the local school district until the new school opened across town in 1950. It was the “new” school that was destroyed in an arson fire in January of 1974.

“Owing to the reduction of the per capita tax by the county and the lowness of incoming tax money, under the nine-months school year the local district would incur a deficit of approximately $4,800, meaning that the district would be that much more in the hole. By cutting off one month of school it is estimated that about $2,000 of the deficit will be avoided. According to Supt. John Fasnacht, shortening the year will not affect grades for college entrance as colleges are taking the present situation into consideration. Mr. Fasnacht says the work in the schools for the rest of the year is being intensified.”

The third story concerns the fact that lighthouse property had officially been stamped, and “anyone who steals property from Uncle Sam, even down to the oars or oar locks from the lighthouse keeper’s skiff (third photo) might as well rob a post office because he was in ‘for a stretch,’ if the warning by L.H. Mauer of the U.S. Custom Service means what he says. He has been here for several days marking every piece of lighthouse

equipment. He carries an electric needle that puts the initials of the Service on the smallest steel part of an outboard motor or an instrument of any kind. He said this warning might well be taken by those who in the past have molested the skiff used by O.R. Langlois, the lighthouse keeper, in crossing the river. The maximum penalty for such a little trick is now a $5,000 fine and five years in a federal penitentiary.”

A young Bandon man, Benjamin Bean, 25, who has been the subject of a number of recent Facebook posts, has been arrested for first degree criminal mischief, attempted criminal trespass in the first degree and menacing involving a disturbance on Lampa Lane. He was booked into

the Coos County Jail on Jan. 10.

On Jan. 5, dispatch received a report of a disturbance on Lampa Lane. The homeowner reported at 3:54 a.m. that an individual had aggressively banged on their door, causing items to fall off the walls. The banging ceased after the homeowner confronted the subject, who then left the area. At around 5:04 a.m., the homeowner reported the suspect had returned but fled again before deputies arrived. Deputy M.R. Smith responded to the scene and initiated an investigation, noting significant damage to the front of the residence caused by the suspect using a sledgehammer. The man was ultimately identified as Benjamin Bean, and on Jan. 10 he

was located and arrested.

* * * By now, we have all watched the firestorm horror that is unfolding in Los Angeles county, virtually wiping out communities, killing at least 16 people and burning thousands of homes and businesses.. I have been glued to News Nation, which is by far the best news station I have ever watched, with the most balanced reporting .... somewhere between Fox News and CNN.

In total, the Oregon State Fire Marshal has sent 15 strike teams, 300 firefighters and 75 engines to the LA area. In our area, the Coos Forest Protective Association deployed four staffed type 6 engines.

These specially equipped engines are assisting local fire crews in their effort to contain and manage the devastating fires. These engines are staffed with trained firefighters from CFPA, ready to lend critical support as part of a larger collaborative effort to protect communities, natural resources and infrastructure, according to a press release from CFPA.

“Significant rainfall through CFPA’s district allowed for deployment of these resources which will strengthen firefighters’ abilities for future fire seasons,” said the release.

In other posts on Facebook, people have said that a number of Oregon fire trucks were turned back in Sacramento

because they could not meet the emission standards. The Oregon Fire Marshal said that information is patently untrue and urged people to stop spreading it.

Bandon Police Officer Zack Carpenter has been named Officer of the Year for his outstanding dedication and service to the community. “We are incredibly proud to have him on our team,” said a spokesman for the police department.

“We also welcome back officer Ian Mastrangelo who has officially graduated from the DPSST Academy and is back on

the streets. He earned the prestigious Defensive Tactics award during his graduation.”

They join fellow officers Jesse Macy, Emma Owens and Damon Price, Sergeant Matt Whitmer, Reserve Sergeant Evan Grant, Reserve Officer Ron Ramer, Police Chief Cory Dhillon and Administrative Services Officer Sarah Lakey.

We are very fortunate to have a police department of their caliber.

Officer Carpenter was pictured on Facebook with his arm in a sling, after he was hit by a falling tree on Christmas night while covering an incident south of town.

Emergencies

of traffic and people not understanding that if you were in high-ground, just stay there. The other piece is trying to educate people where to be and what shelter-in-place actually means.”

Prior to the most recent tsunami warning on December 5th, 2024, it had been over two years since the previous warning on January 15th, 2022. Thankfully, they aren’t a common occurrence. However, that makes preparedness and readiness all the more important so as to not instill panic when a warning does come through.

“It was a distant tsunami following the Tonga underwater volcano explosion,” explained Mueller about the 2022 tsunami warning. “At that time, we did evacuations for the harbor in Charleston. The fire department went boat to boat to be sure they were moved out to sea, which is the safest place for them to be… It was measured to be between 18-24 inches. On one hand, that’s nothing, but for a boat sitting in a dock that could cause some pretty major damage.”

Representatives from other organizations will also be present to talk fire safety. Chief Jim Brown of North Bend Fire Department (who is also the Emergency Manager for North Bend) will speak, along with Kelsey Hunter from the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Office. They will be giving rundowns on fire preparedness, defensible spaces, and home hardening measures we can all take.

Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT), and Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES), a ham radio group, will have tables there with relevant materials.

2024 was a record wildfire season in Oregon, with nearly 2 million acres being burned across almost 2,000 individual fires according to the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF). Coos County has been fortunate to avoid large wildfires. The last in Coos County was the North Bank fire in 2020, which claimed 400 acres and one structure.

“It’s still something we want to think about, and really want to know how we can be safe around that… The State likes to talk about being 2-weeks-ready, but we really encourage people to be 4-weeks-ready. For us we could so easily be cut off. A bridge going down

on either HWY 101 or 42, those are our mainstays for getting out of dodge. It could take a bit for somebody to get to us,” said Mueller.

To that end, the county has ‘Are You Ready?’ books covering a number of emergencies and how to be prepared. They explain how, even on a budget, you can build up preparedness one item at a time, as well as outlining how to make sure the whole family knows what to do in any situation. For those not familiar with the Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems, Mueller recommended everyone check out the NANOOS tsunami evacuation services. With a mobile app and live online maps, you can check your home, work, school, or any other frequented location and know whether it is in the evacuation zone and safe for sheltering in place. All are encouraged to attend the presentation at 3355 Virginia Avenue in North Bend, on January 25th, at 6:30 PM for more information on how to be prepared.
