Good luck! I’m in the tiny green corner in the northwest of Clackamas County,
hoping the Willamette stays a good fire break. If you have tight fitting n95
masks, wear them. The air is shit and getting worse.
Helpful tech-
*The FEMA app is super helpful with alerts to your manually added areas. I’ve
gotten the alerts there before my phone gets the county emergency phone alerts.
*OregonAir app is great for air quality and having an idea what areas are like
with local sensors.
*TripCheck.com is ODOT and they get data from Waze, Gmaps and now Apple maps I
think for very up to date road conditions. The cameras are super helpful.
*Facebook/Twitter for following the regional fire, county, & police, local news
stations. I’ve spent the last few days coordinating friends and family in
Southern, Eugene, and northern Oregon - our local agencies websites are not
equipped for the traffic hits and the social media apps are.
*Clackamas county evacuation map in case you have to take any northern routes

*Oregon emergency response “Raptor”. It’s not fast but very helpful

*Nationwide, good info for all the fires

Pooser is awesome! He’s offered my family an evac spot in case things go pear
shaped. My fear is if the Santiam/Beachie and Riverside fires merge the
Willamette may not be big enough as a break.

We're loading up the truck and trailer with supplies (food & drink for
firefighters) and feed for livestock and heading over the mountains to
Eugene to deliver them, and then come back home with evacuated horses or
whatever livetsock needs to be re-homed. VERY smokey here after a week of
clear weather... it's only going to get worse. No rain in the foreseeable
forecast.
Wish us luck.
Be safe! Hope everything works out and the snow comes early…
Cheers, DK
