Emergency Preparedness Tip of the Month: Keep Oregon Green! As always, check with your local fire depart- ment and your local Oregon Department of Forestry for folks outside of city limits. Consider obtaining a campfire waiver from the Oregon Department of Forestry. Campfire waivers are free and help you avoid fines (these are not for burn piles). Again please check with your local fire authorities for regulations during fire season (usually starts in June). 4. Red Flag Warnings – A Red Flag Warning means warm temperatures, very low humidity and stronger winds are expected to combine to produce an increased risk of fire danger. • If you are allowed to burn in your area, all burn barrels must be covered with a weighted metal cover with holes no larger than ¾”. • Do not throw cigarettes or matches out of a moving vehicle. They may ignite dry grass on the side of the road and become a wildfire. By Eli Grove, Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Trainee As fire season rapidly approaches the Pacific Northwest, we need to start preparing now. A couple terms I’d like Tribal members to start thinking about are the following: 1. Defensible Space – This means preparing your home and property to pro- tect it from wildfire. When is the last time you cleaned your gutters out? Or limbed trees near your home? 2. Wildland/Urban Interface – Think about where your home is located, what’s around? For example, do you live near forests or possibly an active logging opera- tion? Do you have trees near your house with low-hanging limbs? How about an unmaintained yard or lawn? 3. Burn Bans/Campfire Waivers – Do you have a brush pile that you have been waiting to burn? Now is not the best time. Remember – fire knows no season. • Extinguish all outdoor fires properly. Drown fires with plenty of water and stir to make sure everything is cold to the touch. Dunk charcoal in water until cold. Do not throw live charcoal on the ground and leave it. • Never leave a fire unattended. Sparks or embers can blow into leaves or grass, ignite a fire and quickly spread. 5. Regulated Use – These signs (above) will be posted in your local fire district if in effect. They are typically accom- panied with a fire season in effect sign. 2019-2020 Hunting and Fishing Tags Distribution Schedule Estimated Number Available Season Dates Early Archery 50 8/24-9/22 General Rifle 375 9/28-11/1** Antlerless or Spike – Adult 8 10/19-11/1 Type of Tag Deer Elk Antlerless or Spike – Youth 5 9/28-11/3 Late Archery 50*** 11/16-12/8 Antlerless - Youth 2 8/1-12/31 Early Archery 25 8/24-9/22 1 st Season Rifle 25 11/9-11/12 2 nd Season Rifle 25 11/16-11/22 8 Various seasons beginning 1/1/20 Antlerless Late Archery Antlerless Salmon Salmon 56 11/23-12/8 200 11/1-12/30 (estimate) Date to Start Tag Issuance 8/5 at 8 a.m. at Natural Resources office 8/19 Lottery applications available 8/5; due 9/6; drawing 9/9; tags issued 9/11 Lottery applications available 8/5; due 9/6; drawing 9/9; tags issued 9/11 First Distribution: 10/14 at 8 a.m. at NR office Second Distribution: 10/28 at 8 a.m. at NR office (see Note 2 below) Lottery applications available 6/3; due 6/28; drawing 7/1; tags issued 7/2 8/5 at 8 a.m. at Natural Resources office Lottery applications available 9/3; due 9/27; drawing 10/7; tags issued 10/8 Method of Issuance First-come, first- served* First-come, first- served Lottery – Open to elders only Lottery – Open to youth ages 12-17 only First-come, first- served* Lottery – Open to youth ages 12-17 only First-come, first- served* Lottery • Note: “Open Until Filled” vacan- cies may close at any time.
