ODF Western Lane District Forester Grant Smith released a statement Monday afternoon that contained actions stemming from the NWS warning. “There’ll be a couple of extremely difficult fire days ahead. The predicted weather forecast calls for very hot, record setting temperatures, low humidity and winds,” Smith said. “Bottom line, you better not have a fire start, and if you do, you better catch it with aggressive initial attack. If it escapes initial attack, we’ll be ordering fire teams and dealing with significant costs and resource loss. “Beginning Wednesday, we’ll be increasing our fire danger levels throughout the district. ... Our fire danger goes to extreme, which increases our public restrictions. Activities such as mowing of dry grass and chainsaw use will be pro- hibited at that time.” SVFR Chief Director Jim Langborg said community mem- bers should approach these condi- tions with caution. “I would like to remind the peo- ple living and visiting our commu- nity to be extra careful during this period of extreme fire potential. Just because we live on the coast doesn’t mean we don’t get brush fires,” he said. “I also recommend that people drink a lot of fluids, stay in the shade, and avoid over exerting themselves in the heat.” According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), heat relat- ed deaths are preventable, but more than 600 individuals die each year in the U.S. from exposure to exces- sive heat. The elderly, the very young and those with developmental chal- lenges and chronic diseases are at highest risk. The CDC offers the following tips for beating the heat and for avoiding heat related illnesses: • Wear appropriate clothing for the weather. Choose lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing. • Stay in an air-conditioned place as much as possible. If a home does not have air condition- ing, people are encouraged to go to a shopping mall or public library; even a few hours spent in air con- ditioning can help your body stay cooler when you go back into the heat. Siuslaw Public Library Director S IUSLAW P IONEER M USEUM The Siuslaw Pioneer Museum will hold its annual Pioneer Picnic Potluck on Saturday, Aug. 12, beginning at noon at the Elks RV recreation building on Mercer Lake Road. Lunch will begin at 12:30 p.m. Meg Spencer supports the idea that libraries can provide a “cool loca- tion” for people. “The Siuslaw Public Library District works to maintain a safe environment during all kinds of weather events. I am proud that the CDC recognizes the important role a library can play in offering shel- ter during times of need, and would certainly welcome anyone in need of a cool place to read, use the computer, check out our public art, or otherwise avail themselves of the many resources we offer throughout the year at both our locations,” Spencer said. The CDC also said that electric fans may provide some comfort, but when the temperature is in the high 90s, they will not prevent heat-related illness. Taking a cool shower or bath or moving to an air- conditioned place is a much better way to cool off. • Use your stove and oven less to maintain a cooler temperature in your home. • Limit outdoor activity to when it is coolest, such as the morning and evening hours. Rest often in shady areas so that your body has a chance to recover. • Cut down on exercise during the heat. People not used to work- ing or exercising in a hot environ- TO HOST The museum will furnish the entrée, as well as chips, coffee, punch, plates and eating utensils. People are encouraged to bring a dish to share, such as baked beans, salad or dessert. The program will include the 5 A ment, should start slowly and pick up the pace gradually. The CDC warns, “If exertion in the heat makes your heart pound and leaves you gasping for breath, stop all activity. Get into a cool area or into the shade, and rest, especially if you become light- headed, confused, weak or faint.” • Wear sunscreen: Sunburn affects a body’s ability to cool down and can make you dehydrat- ed. People can protect themselves from the sun by wearing a wide- brimmed hat, sunglasses and by putting on sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher 30 minutes prior to going out. Continue to reapply it accord- ing to the package directions. • Never leave infants, children or pets in a parked car, even if the windows are cracked open. • Avoid hot and heavy meals, as they add heat to one’s body. • Stay hydrated. People should drink more fluids, regardless of their activity level. • Replace salt and minerals. Heavy sweating removes salt and minerals from the body that need to be replaced. A sports drink can replace the salt and minerals lost when a person sweats. • Keep pets hydrated: Provide plenty of fresh water and leave the water in a shady area.
