FIRE SAFETY Fire season is in full swing and has reminded us to stay vigilant and cautious. Fire season is the time of year where wildfires are more likely to occur. There are precautions we can all take to reduce the risk of becoming the victim of a fire. Many resources and status updates can be found at Wildfire.Oregon.gov or KeepOregonGreen.org. This week we want to share the following tips that can help keep you and your family safe. Preventing Fires and Fire Damage Protect your home Embers are the leading cause of home loss during a wildfire. They can travel up to three miles ahead of the main flame front. Creating a 30-foot defensible space around your home can increase its chance of surviving a wildfire. To start: • Remove combustible materials like dried pine needles and leaves from gutters, eaves, and around your chimney. • Limb trees several feet off the ground to help prevent fire from reaching the tree crowns. • Keep patios clear of dry, combustible materials. • Remove flammable items like outdoor furniture cushions. • Get a free defensible space assessment and learn more from your local fire agency or by visiting https://oregondefensiblespace.org/. Campfires First, call or check with your local forestry office or fire district to learn if there are any current campfire restrictions. Only light campfires when it’s safe and permitted. When safely having a campfire: • Select a flat, open location away from flammable materials such as logs, brush or decaying leaves and needles. • Scrape away grass, leaves and needles down to the mineral soil. • Cut wood in short lengths, pile it within the cleared area and then light the fire. • Stay with your fire. • Extinguish it completely before leaving. When using equipment Before you start: • Check with your local fire agency for equipment use restrictions. • Make sure gas-powered equipment has spark arrestors. Always: • Use gas-powered equipment early in the day when the fire risk is lower. • Avoid starting equipment near dry grass and plants. • Avoid rocks and other solid objects that could cause a spark if a metal blade strikes them. • Keep a fire extinguisher or hose nearby in case of a fire. • Wear eye/ear protection and gloves. • Use caution when welding or grinding metal, be aware of your surroundings. When traveling While you are packing and preparing to explore Oregon, it’s important to stay up to date on road closures with Tripcheck.com and have emergency supplies in case you get stranded. • Check out the resources at Car Safety | Ready.gov/Car • Extinguish all smoking materials completely and never in dry grass. Don’t toss it out your window. • Carry a shovel, bucket and a fire extinguisher in your vehicle to put out fires. • Avoid parking or driving on dry grass; your vehicle can start a wildfire. Park on gravel surfaces or developed roadside pull-outs to avoid a vehicle's hot exhaust system touching dry grass. • Ensure all parts of your vehicle, from mufflers to chains, are secure and not dragging. • Check tire pressure, wheel bearing lubrication, and the possible metal-on-metal contact of worn-out brakes. • Maintain and clean exhaust systems and spark arrestors. • ATVs are required to be inspected when in use on public lands. Operate ATVs only on established roads and trails on public lands. If There is a Fire or Threat of Fire Power Outages In certain cases, utilities may implement public safety power shutoffs (PSPS). A PSPS is a safety measure designed to help protect people and communities in high fire-risk areas by proactively shutting off electricity during extreme and dangerous weather conditions that might result in wildfires. Utilities may also need to deenergize lines to protect equipment from nearby fires, or to protect personnel fighting fires. What you can do: • Contact your electricity provider or log in to your account and make sure all contact information is current so you receive alerts and messages. • For individuals with a medical condition that requires power, contact your electricity service provider in advance of an outage to register a Medical Certificate. This certification provides added benefits and helps the utility ensure they meet your needs in the event of an outage. Natural gas tips • If required to evacuate, no need to shut off natural gas. • If natural gas appliances do not operate properly once electricity is restored, call your natural gas service provider. • If natural gas service is shut off, do not turn on yourself. Call your natural gas service provider to restore service. • If you smell natural gas, evacuate immediately and call 911. In case of evacuation Make, practice, and review your housefire and wildfire evacuation plans with your household. Help children learn the fire exits in each room of the house, where to go, and how to get help if you are not home. Remember to include pets and livestock. Know the evacuation levels and what to do. Level 1 (Green) – Be Ready for potential evacuation. Residents should be aware of the danger that exists in their area, monitor your devices and telephones, local media sources, and Sheriff’s Office website to receive updated information. This is the time for preparation and precautionary movement of persons with special needs, mobile property, pets, and livestock. If conditions worsen, public safety will issue an upgrade to a level 2 or 3 for this area. Level 2 (Yellow) – Be Set to evacuate. You must prepare to leave at a moment’s notice. This level indicates there is significant danger in your area, and residents should either voluntarily evacuate now to a shelter or to a family/friend’s home outside of the affected area. If choosing to remain, residents need to be ready to evacuate at a moment’s notice. Residents MAY have time to gather necessary items but doing so is at their own risk. This may be the only notice you receive. Level 3 (Red) – GO NOW! Evacuate now. Leave immediately! Danger in your area is current or imminent, and you should evacuate immediately. If you choose to ignore this notice, you must understand that Public Safety Officials may not be available to assist you further. DO NOT delay leaving to gather any belongings or make efforts to protect your home. This may be the last notice you receive until the notice is cancelled or downgraded.

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.
