SIUSLAW NEWS | SATURDAY, JULY 31, 2021 | 3B Governor Kate Brown urges Oregonians to be disaster prepared by signing up for emergency alerts through the OR-Alert notification system Governor Kate Brown is urging Oregonians to pre- pare for emergencies by signing up to receive alerts through Oregon’s new emergency alert notifica- tion system, OR-Alert. The system has been fully im- plemented in 26 counties and is actively being imple- mented in another eight. This timely rollout comes as Oregon has recently faced severe weather events including ice storms, ex- treme drought and a re- cord-breaking heat wave that has contributed to an early and dangerous wild- fire season. With OR-Alert, people across the state are now able to sign up for alerts custom to their geo- graphic area and receive notifications in the most convenient way possible. “Last year’s historic fire A weekly roundup of shopping, savings and doings around town. BARGAINS OF THE MONTH state needed a streamlined and customizable way to enable emergency man- agers at the local, coun- ty, Tribal, and state level to communicate with the populations they serve across the state and at a moment’s notice,” said Wil- liam Chapman, Statewide Interoperability Coordi- nator. “OR-Alert has filled this need and is ready for Oregonians to sign up.” Anyone can receive emer- gency alerts through OR- Alert by signing up via text, web or mobile app: • Text: Sign up for emer- gency alerts in your area by texting your zip code to 888777. • Website: Sign up for emergency alerts in your area by visiting  www.ora- lert.gov. • Mobile App: Download the Everbridge Mobile App to receive emergency alerts wherever you are.  Governor Brown is also urging Oregonians to be “2-Weeks Ready.” Learn more at the Office of Emer- gency Management’s  web- site: www.oregon.gov/ OEM/hazardsprep/Pag- es/2-Weeks-Ready.aspx. LITTLE from page 1B skills and will be capable. The majority of children I watched playing team sports this spring were con- stantly looking to the play- ground area of Miller Park. They would have benefitted greatly from more play time and less structured time. Movement is needed at young ages so the child can learn about their own body’s abilities. When I watched my grandchildren play T-ball and then play on the playground, the one area they preferred was obvi- ous. They did not need 20 minutes of bench and 20 minutes of maybe getting to throw the ball once or twice. They needed and wanted 20 minutes and more to run, slide, swing, play tag and have fun! Parents, take your young children to Miller Park, 18th Street Park, Mercer Road Park, 35th Street ten- nis courts, 34th Street Park and the small park by the dog park. There are many places for your children to have fun. Use the rest of this summer to discov- er Florence’s parks and let your children have fun in the sun. the motor skills necessary for playing the games.
