Increased fire restrictions continue in many county parks
Due to the high risk of fire in our
area, as well as recently issued emer-
gency orders from several fire dis-
tricts, Lane County Parks will be
enforcing these restrictions at several
parks:
• No open flames are allowed in
Lane County parks, including no
campfires, warming fires, cooking
fires or ceremonial fires.
• Gas-powered barbeques and
cooking stoves using liquid or bottled
fuels are allowed, but are restricted to
use for cooking purposes only.
• Open flames are prohibited at day
use areas in Lane County parks.
• Tobacco use and vaping are
already prohibited in Lane County
parks.
• Any other spark-emitting opera-
tion not specifically mentioned is
prohibited. Not included in these
restr
ictions are coastal Lane County
parks located west of milepost 18 on
Highway 126, including Archie
Knowles Campground and Harbor
Vista Campground.

Lane County will continue to mon-
itor weather conditions, especially
humidity and wind, to determine if
further restrictions become neces-
sary, including potential park and
trail closures.
While these restrictions may cause
some inconvenience to park visitors,
Lane County appreciates the under-
standing of the community as we
work together to protect our highly
valued public parks and the safety of
park users.

W
e often consider the physical dangers of emergencies – injuries from flying
debris or car crashes, for example – but can overlook the mental impact associ-
ated with such incidents.
Crisis situations can result in loss
of loved ones, debilitating injuries
or traumatic stress that can change
lives forever. And because these
events are few and far between,
they can be hard to deal with when
they occur. Experts urge people of
all ages who may be experiencing
psychological distress as a result of
natural disaster or incident of mass
violence to seek the help of trained
and caring professionals.
THE SIGNS
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) identifies the following
physical and emotional reactions as
being warning signs for seeking
professional assistance.
• Irregular sleeping patterns.
• Painful stomachaches or head-
aches.
• Anger or edgy attitudes.
• Overwhelming sadness.
• Increased worry or guilt.
• Lack of energy or always feeling
tired.
• Drinking alcohol,
smoking or using
tobacco more than
usual.
• Using illegal drugs.
• Eating too much or
too little.
• Not connecting with
others.
• Rejecting of help.
HOTLINE HELP
SAMHSA has set up a
free hotline to assist
United States citizens
dealing with a traumat-
ic event in their lives.
The hotline is staffed by
trained counselors from
a network of crisis call
centers located across the U.S. They
are trained to provide crisis coun-
seling for those who are in emotion-
al distress caused by any natural or
human-caused disaster, informa-
tion on how to recognize distress
and its effects on individuals and
families, and tips for healthy cop-
ing. The hotline’s counselors can
also provide referrals to local crisis
call centers.
The confidential and multilingual
hotline is available via telephone
(1-800-985-5990) and SMS (Text
‘TalkWithUs’ to 66746).
