Tip of the Week April 24, 2025 Wildfire Preparedness Oregon had a record breaking 1.9 million acres burned by wildfire in 2024. That was the most acreage burned in 30 years and 18 times as much acreage as in 2023. The current year started with destructive fires in California and has continued in several areas of the country with nearly 823,000 acres burned so far. May is a great time to learn about wildfires and prepare your home before the surrounding land dries out. Here are a few things to consider: 1. Have a Plan. Develop an emergency plan using this evacuation checklist as a guide (wildfire.oregon.gov/Documents/Wildfire_Evacuation_Checklist_En.pdf). Include a communications plan with your family and friends and at least one person out of the area. 2. Know about evacuation levels and sign up for emergency alerts at oralert.gov. 3. Clear a defensible space around your home. Start with 5 feet around your home, then work your way up to a 30-foot distance. This is a buffer-zone that can protect your home in case a wildfire is coming. 4. Use safe backyard burning practices. Escaped debris burning is the leading cause of human-caused wildfires in Oregon. 5. Use care with power equipment. Do yard clean up in the spring, not in the summer. Equipment fire is usually the second leading cause of human-caused wildfire. 6. Check your home address marker – can you see it from the street? If not, trim overgrown vegetation or move the marker so first responders can find you if they need to. 7. Build a 72-hour kit for your family and pets. Get tips at www.ready.gov/kit . 8. Document your possessions and store this digitally or away from your home. A video can work for this. 9. Prepare financially for a disaster. The Division of Financial Regulation has information on insurance and other financial considerations 10. For more wildfire prevention tips, visit www.keeporegongreen.org

Tip of the Week For the week of April 21, 2025 Spring Scam Reminder April showers bring May flowers but scams are always in-season. Ever year Oregonians fall victim to scams from criminals disguising themselves as legitimate organizations or businesses. They are quite savvy in getting you to provide your personal information and create a sense of urgency to get you to act quickly. One popular scam we see in Lincoln County is via phone call. Scammers pretend to be from our agency or another organization calling regarding jury duty, an outstanding fees, etc. Then they pressure you to pay a fine or bail money, often in Bitcoin, gift cards, or other non-traditional payment forms. You should know our office will NOT ask for payment over the phone. Before you share any information with the caller, collect their name, agency, and reason for calling. Then hang up and look up the organization’s real contact information to confirm the call is legitimate. Save our contact information below so that you can quickly verify someone from our office calling. Protect yourself from scams: Use caution, especially with those you are not familiar with. o When you receive unexpected contacts from people or businesses, over the phone, by mail, email, in person, or on social media, always consider the possibility that the interaction may be a scam. o Remember to call or log on to the organization’s real website to verify the information you’ve been given is accurate. o Verify the caller is from a legitimate organization before sharing any information. If you have trouble verifying an organization’s phone number or website, consider stopping by their office to speak with someone in person. Protect your passwords and personal information. o Always use password protection. o Don’t share access with others. o Update security software and back up content regularly. o Protect your Wi-Fi network with a password. o Avoid using public computers or Wi-Fi hotspots to access online banking or other personal information. Ignore unfamiliar attachments or links. o Don’t click on links, open attachments, attempt to unsubscribe, or call any telephone number listed in suspicious messages. o Do NOT give any money, credit card info, or other personal details. o When in doubt, look up the organization’s website or phone number and contact them directly. Save contact information from official organization’s ahead of time. o Anytime you open a bank account, work with a company, etc., save that organization’s phone number, website, and address so that you can reach out to them if you receive something suspicious or have questions about someone from their agency contacting you. Know what an organization will and won’t ask for over the phone or through email. o The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office will NOT ask you for payment over the phone. o Most government agencies will not ask for sensitive information such as social security numbers, passwords, etc. over the phone. Help friends and family learn how to spot a scam. o Protect others by helping them learn and follow scam prevention tips. o Encourage loved ones of all ages to tell you about or otherwise report suspicious calls, texts, emails, and social media messages. Remind them to verify the person or organization sending the message before they reply back, provide information, or click on any links. How to know if information is really from the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office: • It is on our official website: lincolncountysheriff.net/ • Our staff can verify the information is true. Give us a call at 541-265-4277 if you have questions about a service or need to connect with someone in our Office. • It comes directly from our Lincoln County Sheriff's Office - Oregon Facebook page, NOT a third party or a comment from another Facebook user. • It comes from one of our other Facebook accounts: Lincoln County Animal Shelter or Lincoln County Oregon Emergency Management

Our team had a great time helping serve breakfast at the Gleneden Beach Community Club’s pancake breakfast on April 6th. Each month, the Gleneden Beach Community Club hosts this event and donates the tips to local causes. Approximately $430 were raised and donated from this event, which will help fund almost 5 local kids participate in Shop with a Cop in December. During the community breakfast, we were able to connect with our communities, raise money for the annual Shop with a Cop event, and fill up on fun (and pancakes). Thank you, Gleneden Beach Community Club for hosting a great event!Photos from Lincoln County Sheriff's Office - Oregon's post

Animal Control Officer Appreciation Week April 13 – 19, 2025 Animal Control Officer Appreciation Week, a time dedicated to recognizing the hardworking professionals who protect animals and serve our communities. This team works tirelessly and often in challenging and dangerous conditions to ensure the safety of both people and animals. Our Animal Services Deputies (ASDs) do more than just enforce laws. They are first responders for animals in need, providing lifesaving care, rescuing the lost, preventing cruelty, and educating the public. Meet our two animal services deputies: After graduating from Toledo High School, Animal Services Deputy David Martin, served 22 years in the United States Air Force earning several accolades for his service. He joined our team in 2011 as an animal service deputy. When Dave is away from work, he enjoys the outdoors, practicing calligraphy, and can name any guitarist he hears. We have been told he is an excellent cook, we are awaiting some samples so we can confirm that information. Animal Services Deputy Anthony Panousopoulos joined our team in late January 2025 after relocating from Arizona and moving to Oregon with his family. Anthony is a retired police officer with 20 years of service with Phoenix, AZ and former livestock officer for the Arizona Department of Agriculture. He enjoys outdoor activities and looks forward to everything Oregon has to offer.Photos from Lincoln County Sheriff's Office - Oregon's post
