Measles exposure locations confirmed at Lark Café in West Linn and Pho.Com restaurant in Gresham
OHA release - PORTLAND, Ore. – Two new measles exposure locations have been identified, and Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Clackamas and Multnomah County public health officials are urging people to talk to a health care provider about their risks if they believe they were exposed. People might have been exposed if they were at the following location at this date and time: Lark Café, 1980 Willamette Falls Drive #120, West Linn, between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. Friday, March 27. Pho.Com, 316 N. Main Ave., Gresham, between 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 25. People who were at these locations during these dates and time periods should immediately contact your health care provider and let them know they may have been exposed to someone who has measles. The health care provider can determine whether you are immune to measles based on your vaccination record, age, or laboratory evidence of prior infection. Families without a primary care provider can establish care at any of Multnomah County's seven primary care clinics or nine student health centers (based at high schools but open to anyone ages 5-18) by calling 503-988-5558 to make a new patient appointment. Facts about measles: Measles spreads through the air after a person with measles coughs or sneezes. People are contagious with measles for four days before a rash appears and up to four days afterward. The virus particles also can linger in the air for up to two hours after someone who is infectious has left the area. Measles typically starts with a fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes. A rash usually follows, beginning on the face and spreading to the rest of the body. Symptoms begin seven to 21 days after exposure to a person with measles. Common complications of measles include ear infection, lung infection and diarrhea. Swelling of the brain is a rare but much more serious complication. Measles can be dangerous, especially among children younger than 5, adults older than 20, pregnant people, and people with weakened immune systems. In developed countries in recent years, one to three of every 1,000 measles cases has been fatal. The measles vaccine is highly effective at providing protection, as two doses of the MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing the virus. The risk of severe disease from measles for people who are up to date on their vaccines is very low. What to do if you suspect measles in your household: Public health officials urge people experiencing symptoms of measles not to arrive unannounced at a medical office if they: Have a measles-like rash, or Have been exposed to measles within the previous 21 days, AND have any other symptom of measles (such as fever, cough or red eyes). Whenever possible, individuals planning to seek medical care should first call your health care provider or urgent care center by telephone to create an entry plan to avoid exposing others in waiting rooms.

Measles exposure location confirmed at Safeway in Portland
OHA release - PORTLAND, Ore. – A new measles exposure location has been identified, and Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Multnomah County public health officials are urging people to talk to a health care provider about their risks if they believe they were exposed. People might have been exposed if they were at the following location at these dates and times: Safeway, 2800 SE Hawthorne Blvd., Portland: Between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Thursday, March 26. Between 2 p.m. and midnight Friday, March 27. Between 2:20 p.m. and 6 p.m. Saturday, March 28. Between 2 p.m. and midnight Sunday, March 29. People who were at this location during these dates and time periods should immediately contact your health care provider and let them know they may have been exposed to someone who has measles. The health care provider can determine whether you are immune to measles based on your vaccination record, age, or laboratory evidence of prior infection. Families without a primary care provider can establish care at any of Multnomah County's seven primary care clinics or nine student health centers (based at high schools but open to anyone ages 5-18) by calling 503-988-5558 to make a new patient appointment.

Wastewater testing helps Oregon communities stay ahead of measles
OHA release - Communities across Oregon are working together to keep measles from spreading, and one of the most helpful tools we have is wastewater testing. Wastewater testing looks for tiny pieces of viruses or other infectious diseases in the sewage water that flows from communities. This approach gives everyone an early clue when measles shows up in a community – sometimes before anyone develops symptoms. Early detection means we can respond faster and keep more people safe. Learn more and see a video about Oregon Health Authority (OHA)’s wastewater testing public dashboard from Dr. Howard Chiou, medical director for communicable diseases and immunizations at OHA.

OHA urges against giving baby poultry as Easter gifts
OHA release - PORTLAND, Ore. – As Easter approaches and families plan holiday gatherings, Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is cautioning against buying chicks, ducklings or other baby poultry as gifts. Close contact with the cute and cuddly critters can make children ill from Salmonella, which can sometimes be carried by chicks and the other Easter-themed animals. “Giving chicks and ducklings as gifts should be avoided,” said Emilio DeBess, DVM, public health veterinarian in the Acute and Communicable Disease Prevention Section at OHA’s Public Health Division. “Young children characteristically will hug and even sometimes kiss the animals and often may not wash their hands afterward,” DeBess added. “Handling live poultry can lead to Salmonella infection, which can be especially virulent in children younger than 5 because their immune systems are not fully developed.” Salmonella infections cause salmonellosis, which can result in diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever lasting three to seven days. Anyone with compromised immune systems, the very young and older adults could become very ill and even die of the infection. Since 2020, five outbreaks of illnesses caused by Salmonella bacteria from baby chicks have occurred in Oregon, affecting at least 55 cases of salmonellosis. About half of the cases were children younger than 18. OHA offers the following tips: Children younger than 5, older adults, or people with weak immune systems should not handle or touch chicks, ducklings or other live poultry, or rabbits. Make a general rule that after kids touch any animal, they immediately wash their hands with soap and water. If kids handle chicks, discourage them from nuzzling or kissing them. Don’t eat or drink in an area where animals roam.

Oregon Outdoor Recreation Committee, April 3
OPRD release - SALEM, Oregon— The Oregon Outdoor Recreation Committee (OORC) will meet April 3 to rank and establish a priority list of Land and Water Conservation Fund grant proposals from around the state for projects to develop and rehabilitate public outdoor recreation areas and facilities. Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) administers this federally funded grant program. The meeting is open to the public but there will not be time for public comments during the meeting. The meeting will be held online via Zoom. View the agenda for a list of project proposals and meeting information: https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/gra/pages/gra-lwcf.aspx Recommendations from the OORC will be submitted to the Oregon State Parks Commission for review and approval at their April 22 meeting. OPRD will then forward approved project proposals to the National Park Service for final approval. The OORC is made up of nine members who represent a variety of interests and are appointed by the OPRD Director. The Land and Water Conservation Fund Program is a financial assistance program of the National Park Service. LWCF grants provide matching funds to state and local governments for acquiring and developing public outdoor recreation areas and facilities. For more information contact Nohemi Enciso, LWCF Grant Program Coordinator, at 503-480-9092 or [email protected], or visit the LWCF webpage on the OPRD website.

Wildfire protection partners provide new public tool to prevent escaped debris burns
ODF release - Debris burning site aims to reduce #1 cause of wildfires - SALEM, Ore.—Outdoor debris burning, also known as backyard debris burning, is the leading cause of human-caused wildland fires in Oregon. On average, the Oregon Department of Forestry responds to about 225 fires each year that result from escaped debris burns. All Oregonians are encouraged to use the new statewide Before You Burn website or mobile application prior to lighting any debris, whether it be a small pile or in a burn barrel. Before You Burn provides Oregonians simple, clear guidance on burning regulations and prevention measures for their specific location. The public can sign up for free by either downloading the Before You Burn app (available in both the Apple and Android stores) or visiting the beforeyouburn.net website. Once on the site, or application, residents are prompted to enter their address. They will be immediately informed on whether burning is allowed for their location. If burning is allowed, they will receive instructions or options on local regulations that must be followed, like registering a burn or filing for a permit. “We’re hoping that a central resource for all Oregonians will take the guess work out of who regulates burns, and what the process might be for an allowed burn, for residents in any location around the state,” said Levi Hopkins, ODF Protection Division Deputy Chief of Policy and Planning. ODF and its fire protection and air quality partners have spent the last two years developing this multi-jurisdiction website and mobile application that aims to reduce the number of these preventable wildfires. Before You Burn is only intended for backyard debris burning. It is not for campfires, agricultural burns, the burning of forest slash from harvest operations, or other types of burning. Residents should contact their local fire or air quality agency for regulations on these types of burning activities. Ahead of this year’s fire season, ODF would like to remind the public that engaging in prohibited burning may make you liable for wildfire suppression costs. Suppression costs can reach millions of dollars for a single wildfire. “Checking this new resource is a quick, simple step to take before causing Oregon’s next wildfire,” said Hopkins. ODF serves as the lead agency for Before You Burn, working in partnership with Western Fire Chiefs Association, structural fire departments across the state, Keep Oregon Green Association and Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).

ODOT crews focus on maintenance to keep Oregon bridges safe
ODOT release - 2025 Bridge Conditions Report highlights inspections, repairs and ongoing work statewide - SALEM – The Oregon Department of Transportation has released its 2025 Bridge Conditions Report, highlighting the condition of bridges statewide and the work underway to keep them safe and in service. ODOT maintains 2,786 state-owned bridges that connect communities and keep people and goods moving across Oregon. Crews inspect, maintain and repair bridges every day to prevent problems and keep traffic moving. ODOT’s top priority is safety. Bridges that remain open to traffic have been inspected and meet safety standards. In addition to required inspections every two years, maintenance crews regularly check bridges, conduct engineering evaluations and monitoring so they can address issues as they arise. If ODOT identifies a concern, the agency acts right away. This may include repairs, setting weight limits or closing a bridge if it cannot be used safely. How does ODOT keep bridges safe and in good condition? ODOT uses a combination of day-to-day maintenance and larger repairs to keep bridges in service. Maintenance crews are the front line of bridge safety. While certified inspectors conduct required inspections every two years, maintenance crews regularly check bridges and handle work like clearing drains, removing debris and fixing small issues before they become bigger problems. Certified inspectors conduct required bridge inspections every two years. That is not the only time ODOT checks bridges. Between inspections, maintenance crews regularly monitor conditions and address issues early, before they become bigger problems. Preventive and maintenance work includes: Clearing drainage to prevent water damage; Cleaning expansion joints so bridges can safely expand and contract; Removing vegetation that traps moisture and leads to corrosion; Sealing bridge decks to protect against water and winter chemicals; Repairing or replacing worn surfaces like asphalt and concrete. These efforts help prevent weight restrictions and extend the life of bridges. Why does this work matter? When bridges are not maintained, they weaken over time and may no longer safely carry heavy loads. Weight-restricted bridges can force trucks and emergency vehicles to take longer routes, increasing response times and the cost of moving goods. Regular maintenance helps avoid those impacts and keeps Oregon’s transportation system running smoothly. How often does ODOT inspect bridges? All state-owned bridges are inspected at least every two years by certified inspectors. Bridges with known issues are inspected more often. If a bridge shows signs of concern, it may be load rated to determine how much weight it can safely carry while plans are developed for repairs or replacement. Many recent changes in condition ratings are tied to updated federal inspection standards, not just physical changes to the bridges. Because inspections occur on a two-year cycle and new standards are still being phased in, these updates will continue to influence ratings through 2027. If a safety issue is identified during any inspection, ODOT takes action right away to keep the bridge safe. What do bridge ratings mean? ODOT uses national standards from the National Bridge Inventory to rate bridge conditions. Bridges are given a numerical score from 0 to 9 based on the condition of key components like the deck, superstructure and substructure. Good (7–9): Little to no wear; Fair (5–6): Showing wear but still functioning; Poor (4 or below): Needs more significant repairs. Most ODOT bridges, about 84%, are in fair condition. This reflects ongoing work to maintain and preserve aging bridges. Bridge ratings are determined during inspections by certified engineers, who evaluate the structure and determine how much weight it can safely carry. These ratings guide maintenance decisions, set weight limits when needed and help prioritize repairs or replacement. A bridge in poor condition is not automatically unsafe. Safety is based on detailed inspections and engineering analysis. If a bridge cannot safely carry traffic, ODOT takes action right away. How does ODOT manage older bridges? About 60% of Oregon’s bridges were built before 1973. As these bridges age, they need more frequent repairs, similar to maintaining an older home or car. Over time, parts wear down from constant use and environmental factors like weather, water and traffic. For example, bridge decks, the driving surface, can wear down from heavy traffic, deicing chemicals and coastal conditions. ODOT manages this through a combination of preservation, maintenance and targeted investments, including: Targeted repairs while bridges are still in fair condition; More frequent inspections on older or stressed structures; Prioritizing key freight and emergency routes; Seismic upgrades to improve earthquake resilience. With limited funding for replacements, this approach helps extend the life of bridges from about 50 years to 75 years or longer. This is especially important as today’s bridges carry more traffic and heavier vehicles than they were originally designed for. Other highlights from the report: ODOT completed 1,316 inspections last year; ODOT replaced six bridges in 2025; ODOT added five bridges to the system; Major Bridge Maintenance crews repaired 12 bridges in poor condition and addressed 53 with urgent needs; ODOT completed load ratings on 21 state bridges and 256 local bridges.
