A map shows snowpack on April 1 in Oregon. Even with summertime temperatures gracing the Willamette Valley this week, the Northwest should have a fairly normal summer in terms of water.

sible.
Yet another lucky
break — March storms
combined with a system
of cool air — bolstered the
snowpack back to 105 per-
cent of normal statewide
as of April 1.
“We were lucky in that
while we had a lot of warm
weather, when the storms
came in, it happened to be
cold enough for us to get
some snow,” Dello said.
Whether it’s good for-
tune or just part of na-
ture’s cycle, the summer
of 2016 is looking a lot
healthier than 2015.

The take home is that we’re in excellent condition at
this point.”

Who do I call fi rst?
When a death is unexpected and a person is not on hospice, nor in a licensed care facility, your fi rst phone call
may be to the funeral home. However, the police must be notifi ed fi rst. Often the funeral home will call and
notify the police for you.
Once police are notifi ed, they will come to the place of death and assess things. They will also contact EMT to
come and certify the time and that a death has occurred. Afterward, the police may phone the nearest funeral
home to assist in transportation of the individual. In certain cases, the medical examiner’s deputy may also
be requested at the scene to determine if an autopsy may be required. In other cases, an autopsy may not be
necessary. If family wishes to pursue an autopsy, they should notify the funeral
director.
No. Only in certain circumstances. Embalming is required in cases of
communicable disease or prolonged public viewing (6 hours or longer). Most
often times the funeral home will utilize mortuary refridgeration, as required after
the fi rst 24 hours of death.
