Heat
from 1A
weather conditions across most
Oregon Fire Zones through
Thursday.
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.
