COOS COUNTY SEEKS INPUT ON COMMUNITY WILDFIRE PROTECTION PLAN UPDATE Draft plan and feedback survey available until 4/6/2026 For the past year, Coos County Emergency Management has been working with local stakeholders, community partners, and the county’s fire districts to update the 2011 Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). The CWPP outlines the county’s vulnerabilities to wildfire hazards and details various strategies and actions designed to reduce wildfire risk. The CWPP’s proactive mitigation efforts can help the county become more resilient, protecting lives and property while promoting long-term sustainability. Debbie Mueller, Coos County Emergency Coordinator, who led the plan update, says, “The Coos County Community Wildfire Protection Plan update comes at a time when other parts of our state are still recovering from devastating wildfires. We are asking the community to stay vigilant in protecting our community.” Please take time to review the draft plan, StoryMap, and provide feedback via the survey with the following links: CWPP Draft: https://emberalliance.sharepoint.com/sites/ResilientCommunitiesandEcosystems/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx?id=%2Fsites%2FResilientCommunitiesandEcosystems%2FShared%20Documents%2FProjects%2FCWPP%2FOR%2FCoos%20County%2F09%5FDeliverables%2FCurrent%20Review%2FCoosCounty%20CWPP%20Update%5FDRAFT%20FOR%20PUBLIC%20REVIEW%5F03%2E2026%2Epdf&parent=%2Fsites%2FResilientCommunitiesandEcosystems%2FShared%20Documents%2FProjects%2FCWPP%2FOR%2FCoos%20County%2F09%5FDeliverables%2FCurrent%20Review&p=true&ga=1 Story Map: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/2d806531371746fc8ff107a90a968da0 Survey: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=Ty-8LE47nkKo_Y2iRCxRurKemoVKaIlAhvmg2kXWxMhUNko2WVdFUkhEM1ZRUDhGSE9VTElIOTNVMC4u These links will only be available until April 6, 2026. The results will be incorporated in the final plan as appropriate. The Coos County webpage, where the final draft will be hosted, will also feature a project Story Map that provides in-depth maps and information on natural hazards within Coos County. The final plan is expected to be adopted by the Coos Board of County Commissioners in April of 2026.Photos from Coos Bay - City Government's post

ANEROBIC DIGESTION Turning Wastewater Into Energy The City of Coos Bay utilizes two anaerobic digesters at Plant 1 located at 680 Ivy Ave. Wastewater digesters are sealed tanks where microorganisms break down organic waste from sewage in the absence of oxygen, a process called anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic digesters contain wastewater sludge that is heated and mixed inside the digester. Bacteria consume the organic material and convert it into simpler compounds, producing biogas – mainly methane. This methane is then recycled to heat the digesters and keep them operating within the right temperature ranges. During this process the bacteria help neutralize any vector sources that can be caused by human waste, ensuring the safety and health of the community we serve. Another useful resource yielded in the process is the biosolids which are utilized by local landowners as a fertilizer source for their crops.Photos from Coos Bay - City Government's post

COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS PROVIDE INPUT ON EASTSIDE FEASIBILITY STUDY Earlier this week, community members gathered at Eastside Elementary School to begin an important conversation about the future of housing in Coos Bay. The City of Coos Bay, working in partnership with the International Port of Coos Bay, is exploring the feasibility of developing a 100-acre site in Eastside which might help address our city’s housing needs. As our community continues to grow and change, it is important that we look carefully at opportunities to create housing that supports local families, our workforce, and future residents who want to call Coos Bay home. The open house on Wednesday, March 11, was well attended and provided an opportunity for residents to learn more about the project and share their thoughts. Attendees were able to review background information about the property, see the work that has been completed so far, and ask questions about what the next steps might look like. I want to thank everyone who attended and took the time to share their questions, ideas, and feedback. Community input is an important part of this process, and we heard you. Conversations like this help us better understand the concerns, priorities, and perspectives of the people who live and work here. Housing remains one of the most significant challenges facing communities across Oregon, and Coos Bay is no exception. Exploring opportunities such as the Eastside site is one way we can better understand what options may be available to support future housing development in our area. If you were unable to attend the first meeting, or if you would like to continue the discussion, I encourage you to join us on March 25. This second open house is part of an ongoing community conversation and will include new information, including geotechnical findings, a summary of financial analysis, and potential site development alternatives. The more voices we hear, the better we can shape decisions that reflect the needs of our community. There will also be a presentation about the project to the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay’s Board of Commissioners at their public meeting on March 19 at 11 a.m. at 125 Central Avenue, Suite 230. Thank you again to everyone who attended Wednesday’s open house and helped start this important conversation about housing and the future of our community. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos BayPhotos from Coos Bay - City Government's post

Tomorrow is our first Community Open House for the Eastside Feasibility Study hosted by the City of Coos Bay and the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay. Join us at the Eastside Elementary Cafeteria, 370 2nd Avenue at 6 p.m. The open houses will provide an opportunity for community members to learn more about the study, review initial information, and share feedback with project staff. The study is intended to evaluate whether the site could support future housing development and what opportunities or constraints may exist. Addressing housing availability is a priority for communities across Oregon’s South Coast, and this study represents an early step in exploring potential solutions that could support additional housing and long-term community growth. Community members are encouraged to attend and participate in the conversation. We welcome ideas and feedback from residents about how this property could best serve the community’s future needs. No development decisions have been made at this time, and community input will help inform next steps For questions about the study, contact: Zach Pelz [email protected] 503-400-6028Photos from Coos Bay - City Government's post
