Delivery of sand has been slightly delayed due to road conditions yesterday;
anticipate sand and sandbags in place by noon today at: Bly Rural Fire District
Station in Bly, Sprague River Rural Fire District Station in Sprague River,
Chiloquin Fire District Station 3 on Sprague River Road, and Chiloquin Fire
District Station in Chiloquin.
An interagency Incident Management Team comprised of many local fire service
agencies, including USFS and ODF, and Klamath County Emergency Management and
Sherriff's Office volunteers, will be working in those communities today and
handing out flood preparedness information.
The NWS has forecast heavy rain and strong winds across much of the Southern
Oregon region Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning. The potential for
flooding and rock/mud/snow slides exists in most areas, as well as toppled
trees and broken branches. See below graphics for rainfall and wind gust
details. Avoid heavily treed areas during the windstorm, especially those in
saturated ground and at higher elevations.
Questions can be directed to Emergency Management.
