Have Something to Share? The Friday Update Is for Our Community Every Friday, the City of Coos Bay sends the Friday Update to more than 9,000 subscribers — sharing City news alongside events, programs, resources, and opportunities happening throughout our community. And not everything in the Friday Update has to come from City Hall. We welcome submissions from local nonprofit organizations and governmental and community partners about events and opportunities that are open to the public and benefit our community. That might be an upcoming cultural event, educational program, volunteer opportunity, community meeting, public workshop, available resource, or simply something our neighbors might enjoy knowing about. As a City publication, we also have a responsibility to make sure the Friday Update remains a welcoming and useful source of information for a community made up of many different people, experiences, perspectives, and beliefs. For that reason, our focus is on informing and connecting. We are happy to help residents learn that an organization, event, service, or opportunity exists. When submitted material moves beyond information into advocacy, electioneering, one side of a controversial community issue, or other content where City publication could reasonably be viewed as endorsing a particular position, we may ask to modify the submission or direct readers to the organization itself for additional information. Importantly, that determination is about the content being submitted — not the organization submitting it. We value the many organizations, agencies, volunteers, and community members doing good work throughout Coos Bay. Sharing those opportunities is one of the things that makes the Friday Update special. Have something happening in our community? Send it our way. We would love to help our neighbors know about it.

MAYOR'S MESSAGE Being Prepared Starts at Home September is National Preparedness Month, and here on the Oregon Coast, being prepared for an emergency is something we should all take seriously. We are fortunate to live in a beautiful part of the world, but we also know that earthquakes, tsunamis, winter storms, flooding, wildfires, and power outages are all part of the risks that come with living here. At our September 15 City Council meeting, City Council unanimously proclaimed September as National Preparedness Month in Coos Bay. This year’s national theme is “Americans Stand Ready,” and I think that is a good reminder that preparedness really does begin with each of us. It is easy to put emergency planning on the list of things we will get to someday. The reality is that a little preparation now can make a big difference when something unexpected happens. That might mean making sure your family knows where to meet after an emergency, knowing your evacuation route, keeping some extra food and water on hand, or thinking about what your pets may need. Oregon’s Be 2 Weeks Ready program encourages all of us to work toward having enough supplies to take care of ourselves and our families for two weeks following a major disaster. You do not have to do everything at once. Add a few extra items to your supplies when you go to the store, talk with your family about what you would do during an emergency, and take some time to learn about the resources available in our community. A great place to do that will be Coos County Prepares, a community preparedness and safety fair on Saturday, September 26, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Pony Village Mall. This is a good opportunity to learn more about emergency preparedness and the steps you can take to make your household more resilient. Our first responders will always be there when we need them, but during a large-scale emergency their resources may be stretched throughout our community. The more prepared each of us can be, the better able they will be to help those who need them most. I hope you will take a little time this month to think about how prepared you and your family are. A few simple steps today can make all the difference tomorrow. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay
