A good reminder for Lincoln City community members and visitors. The Lincoln City Police Department WILL be conducting their normal tsunami siren test between the hours of 11:00am and 12:30pm. This is their usual Wednesday test, and the siren will only sound for a short time. Please do not contact the Lincoln City Police Dispatch Center if you hear a siren during this time. As of this morning, July 30, 2025, the distant tsunami advisory remains in effect. This means you need to stay out of the water, off the beach, and away from harbors, marinas, breakwaters, bays and inlets. Our team continues to monitor information from the US National Weather Service Portland Oregon and tsunami.gov, but you also want to continue to be alert and watch for updates. member.everbridge.netmember.everbridge.net

A quick update from our Emergency Manager, Samantha Buckley. Continue to monitor for updates: - National Weather Service: www.weather.gov/ - Tsunami.gov: tsunami.gov/ - Lincoln Alerts: member.everbridge.net/892807736721689/notif - Lincoln County Sheriff's Office FlashAlert: flashalert.net/id/LCSO For those having issue with closed captions, below is a video transcript: "Good evening Lincoln County, this is Samantha Buckley, the Emergency Manger for the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. Earlier tonight on July 29th, the National Weather Service issued a tsunami watch which included the Oregon Coast due to an earthquake about 80 miles off the coast of Russia. The watch was then upgraded to a tsunami advisory. What do you need to know now? Now you just need to stay out of the water, off the beach, and away from the harbors, marinas, break ways, bays and inlets; anywhere low-lying. Continue to be alert and watch for updates from the National Weather Service, tsunami.gov, and of course emergency officials. In Lincoln County that means watching our FlashAlert Account, Lincoln Alerts page, and Facebook pages. This event was a distant tsunami which is different from a local tsunami. In a distant tsunami, the earthquake takes place somewhere other than here. That means that we have lots of time to assess the situation and find out which areas may or may not be to be evacuated and to inform the public. In a local tsunami, the only notification that you will get that a tsunami is coming is the ground shaking from a local earthquake. There is not enough time in a local tsunami for responders to get the notification out because the earthquake will be happening here in the local area."07.29.25 - Distant Tsunami Video UpdateWatch video on Facebook.com

DISTANT TSUNAMI WATCH AND ADVISORY IN EFFECT - From National Weather Service Updated at 7:53pm on 7/29/25 The Tsunami Watch from the National Weather Service has been upgraded to a Tsunami Advisory. What to do now: Recommended actions from the National Weather Service are listed below. If you are in a tsunami warning or advisory area: - Move out of the water, off the beach, and away from harbors, marinas, breakwaters, bays and inlets. - Be alert to and follow instructions from your local emergency officials because they may have more detailed or specific information for your location. - If you feel a strong earthquake or extended ground rolling take immediate protective actions such as moving inland and/or uphill preferably by foot. -Boat operators: --Where time and conditions permit, move your boat out to sea to a depth of at least 180 feet. --If at sea avoid entering shallow water, harbors, marinas, bays, and inlets to avoid floating and submerged debris and strong currents. --Do not go to the shore to observe the tsunami. --Do not return to the coast until local emergency officials indicate it is safe to do so. Impacts Impacts will vary at different locations in the warning and in the advisory areas. If you are in a tsunami warning area: -A tsunami with damaging waves and powerful currents is possible. -Repeated coastal flooding is possible as waves arrive onshore, move inland, and drain back into the ocean. -Strong and unusual waves, currents and inland flooding can drown or injure people and weaken or destroy structures on land and in water. -Water filled with floating or submerged debris that can injure or kill people and weaken or destroy buildings and bridges is possible. -Strong and unusual currents and waves in harbors, marinas, bays, and inlets may be especially destructive. If you are in a tsunami advisory area: -A tsunami with strong waves and currents is possible. -Waves and currents can drown or injure people who are in the water. -Currents at beaches and in harbors, marinas, bays, and inlets may be especially dangerous. If you are in a tsunami warning or advisory area: -Some impacts may continue for many hours to days after arrival of the first wave. -The first wave may not be the largest so later waves may be larger. -Each wave may last 5 to 45 minutes as a wave encroaches and recedes. -Coasts facing all directions are threatened because the waves can wrap around islands and headlands and into bays. -Strong shaking or rolling of the ground indicates an earthquake has occurred and a tsunami may be imminent. -A rapidly receding or receded shoreline, unusual waves and sounds, and strong currents are signs of a tsunami. -The tsunami may appear as water moving rapidly out to sea, a gentle rising tide like flood with no breaking wave, as a series of breaking waves, or a frothy wall of water. Additional Information and Next Update -Refer tsunami.gov for more information. -Pacific coastal residents outside California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alaska should refer to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center messages at tsunami.gov. -Continue to monitor updates: https://www.weather.gov/ and https://tsunami.gov/ National Weather Servicewww.weather.govSevere thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and evening across parts of the Upper Midwest to western Great Lakes. Additional severe storms will also be possible in parts of the northern Plains, central Appalachians, and Mid-Atlantic. Extreme heat is expected to intensify across much of the Sout...

Media Release July 29, 2025 Proactive Online Child Luring Investigation Leads to Two Arrests In July, the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office conducted online child luring investigations using decoy social media accounts as part of its ongoing commitment to proactive policing and the protection of vulnerable community members -especially children. As part of the operation, deputies posed as underage children on various social media platforms. During the investigation, they were contacted by adult males who engaged in sexually explicit conversations and attempted to arrange in-person meetings for illegal sexual encounters. On July 28, 2025, a Lincoln County detective traveled to Albany, Oregon, and arrested Jimmy Smith, 45, of Albany, on charges of Luring a Minor and Online Sexual Corruption of a Child in the Second Degree. While enroute back to Lincoln County with Mr. Smith in custody, deputies operating decoy accounts were contacted by Kyle Carter, 34, of Sweet Home, Oregon. Based on the nature of the interaction, probable cause was established for Mr. Carter’s arrest. On July 29, 2025, Mr. Carter traveled to Lincoln County to meet with the decoy persona and was subsequently arrested. He was charged with Luring a Minor and Online Sexual Corruption of a Child in the First Degree. These arrests underscore the effectiveness of proactive, targeted enforcement strategies designed to identify and apprehend individuals seeking to exploit children online -before harm can occur. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office remains steadfast in its mission to protect children and hold offenders accountable. Parents and guardians are strongly encouraged to monitor their children’s online activity and maintain open, ongoing conversations about the risks of communicating with strangers on the internet. Through community awareness, education, and enforcement, we can work together to ensure a safer environment for all children.

A HOT CAR IS NO PLACE FOR YOUR PET While many of us welcome the warmer weather, we must remember that some of our loved ones may find themselves in an uncomfortable predicament. It could even result in their death. Pets regularly accompany many people on trips and errands, which often leaves them alone in a vehicle. Pets should not be left unattended in a parked car. On warm days, and even cloudy days, the temperature in a car can rise to dangerous levels in minutes, even with the windows left open. A brief stop at a store or another errand can quickly turn into 15 minutes or more before we know it. Leaving pets in a car for this time could be a mistake that takes their life. Leaving the windows cracked won't cool the car enough to protect your beloved pet, even if they have water available. Oregon was the 11th state to pass a Good Samaritan Law, which allows anyone – not just law enforcement – to enter a vehicle (by force or otherwise) to remove an unattended domestic animal without fear of civil or criminal liability. If you come upon a scenario where you believe an animal could perish, please contact our dispatch center at 541-265-0777 before deciding to enter the vehicle. Be ready to convey your location, the vehicle description, and a description of you. Our Animal Service Deputies will make every effort to respond quickly. If you determine that more immediate life-saving action is necessary, please ensure you do all of the following: • have a reasonable belief that the animal is in imminent danger • notify law enforcement or emergency services either before or soon after entering the vehicle • use only the minimum force necessary to enter the vehicle • stay with the animal until law enforcement, emergency services, or the owner or operator of the vehicle arrives.
