This includes pets. • You may need things like medicine, first aid supplies, flashlights, and extra batteries. • Plan for how you will stay clean, cook food, and stay warm if the power is out. How to Get Ready Be Informed • Learn about the dangers where you live, like earthquakes, storms, and floods. • Know your local evacuation routes. • Sign up for emergency alerts with Lincoln Alerts. Make a Family Plan • Talk with your family about what to do if you are not together during an emergency. • Practice your plan at different times and places, like home, school, or work. • Plan to check on neighbors and people who may need extra help. Build an Emergency Kit • Pack at least 4 weeks of food and water for every person and pet. • Include a battery-powered or hand crank radio, flashlight, first aid kit, extra batteries, whistle, dust mask, face coverings, plastic sheeting, duct tape, moist towelettes, garbage bags, plastic ties, wrench or pliers, manual can opener, local maps, and a cell phone with chargers and power banks.

DRIVING IN THE RAIN Along with the official start of fall comes our rainy season. For some, driving in the rain, especially in the dark, causes anxiety. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, “nearly 5,700 people are killed and more than 544,700 people are injured in crashes on wet pavement” each year. But being behind the wheel while it’s raining doesn’t have to be a nerve-racking experience. Here are some tips for driving in a downpour: 1. Think. Drivers need to stay alert and focused on what’s going on around them, especially during rain and other stormy weather. 2. Turn on headlights. It’s the law in all states to turn on headlights when visibility is low. Many states also require having headlights on when the windshield wipers are in use. While Oregon does not require motorists to turn on headlights when wipers are used, this can help increase visibility. Well-working wipers are an essential for driving in rain. 3. Beware of hydroplaning. Hydroplaning is what occurs when your tires are getting more traction on the layer of water on the road than on the road itself, resulting in your car sliding uncontrollably. It’s easy enough to hydroplane: All you need is one-twelfth of an inch of water on the road and a speed of more than 35 miles per hour. If you start to hydroplane, let off the accelerator slowly and steer straight until you regain control. Before rain, snow, or freezing temperatures begin, it is important to have quality tires for increased traction and safety. 4. Turn off cruise control. On rain, snow, ice, or other slick surfaces, cruise control may cause you to lose control. If you hydroplane while in cruise control, your car will actually go faster. 5. Slow down. Speed limits are designed for ideal conditions. That means driving when there is little traffic and good visibility. Plan for more time to get to your destination when it is raining.

During the week of September 15 - 19, 2025, the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office and the Lincoln County District Attorney's office participated in the annual 40-hour Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training. Some topics covered during this training were: - Mental Health First Aid - Trauma Informed Care - Crisis de-escalation - Suicide Prevention - Substance Use Disorders - And many more... Nine team members from the Sheriff's Office were able to attend this very valuable training, and included Corrections Deputy Cameron Davis, Corrections Deputy Grace Paranto, Corrections Deputy Gary Ward, Corrections Deputy Isiah Opperud, Patrol Deputy Casey Elfstrom, Patrol Deputy Travis Iverson, Patrol Deputy Matthew Hegerberg, Patrol Deputy Bailee Etheridge and Patrol Deputy Garrett Brawdy. Joining from the District Attorney's Office was Deflection Coordinator Shannon Heisler. Crisis Intervention Teams (CIT) are designed to improve the outcomes of encounters between law enforcement and individuals experiencing a mental health crisis. The CIT model was first developed in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1988 and has since spread across the United States and Internationally. The program aims to divert individuals in crisis from the criminal justice system to appropriate mental health services, thereby reducing stigma and improving community safety.

SAFETY TIPS DURING HUNTING SEASON In the Pacific Northwest, many enjoy the great outdoors while hiking, camping, or hunting. Whether you are a seasoned hunter or just starting out, safety should always be the top priority. Before you grab your gear and start your next adventure, check out the hunting safety tips below. Tip for Hunters: • Check the weather and plan accordingly. • Tell someone where you will be hunting and when you will return. Leave a written plan at home and in your vehicle. • Be familiar with the area and plan for local hazards. • Consider using technology such as a handheld GPS, cellphone apps that use GPS, personal locating beacons (PLBs), or satellite messengers. These can help searchers find you if you are lost or injured. • Avoid wearing white or tan during hunting seasons. Wear hunter orange and make sure it is viewable from all directions. • If accompanied by a dog, the dog should also wear hunter orange or a very visible color on a vest, leash, coat, or bandana. • Check hunting equipment before and after each outing and maintain it properly. Familiarize yourself with its operation before using it in the field. • Always bring rain gear and additional clothing. Use layering techniques to prevent moisture while retaining body warmth. • Carry a first aid kit and know how to use it. • Clearly identify your target before shooting to prevent accidents or fatalities. • Be alert when hunting near developed areas and trails. Other recreationists are in the forest as well. Tips for Outdoor Enthusiasts: • Wear bright clothing to make yourself more visible. Choose colors that stand out, like red, orange, or bright green, and avoid white, black, brown, earth-toned greens, or animal-colored clothing. Orange vests and hats are best. • Protect your dog. Get an orange vest for them. • Be courteous. Once a hunter is aware of your presence, don’t make unnecessary noise to disturb wildlife and avoid confrontations. • Make yourself known. If you do hear shooting, raise your voice, and let hunters know that you are in the area. • Know when hunting seasons are. You may choose to continue to hike but learn where and when hunting is taking place. Consider hiking midday when wild game and hunting activity is at its lowest. • Know your own comfort level. If hunting makes you uneasy, choose a hiking location where hunting is not allowed, such as a national or state park.
