Polk County News Polk County Itemizer-Observer • July 26, 2017 9A Eclipse: Volunteers still needed Continued from Page 1A Welsh said it’s critical for residents and guests to yield to emergency vehicles. With so many people on the roads, it will be difficult to respond to emergencies, so if people see lights and hear sirens, they should pull over as soon as safely possible. Welsh said Dallas Fire & EMS will have all employees working that weekend and is asking its volunteers to staff fire engines when the day shift isn’t working. It will add an ambulance to its fleet for Aug. 17-21. “We don’t know exactly what to expect,” Welsh said. “We are preparing as much as we possibly can.” She also urged people to obey all traffic laws and stay on maintained roads. Driv- ing in fields increases the chances of starting fires, something that has already happened this summer. “We can’t control this event; it’s going to happen,” she said. “It’s one day. If you don’t have to travel, don’t. Stay home and view it from your backyard or walk downtown.” Salem Health West Valley is scheduling more employ- ees through the weekend and Monday, and setting up a tent at the hospital to treat patients from Aug 18-21. JOLENE GUZMAN/Itemizer-Observer Dallas Police is seeking volunteer translators for the Great American Eclipse. The tent will be open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., but em- ployees will be on call if needs increase, said Jen- nifer Broadus, the director of clinical operations at the hospital. Garton said the state is coordinating with local agencies to make sure hos- pitals have access to air am- bulances if patients need quick transfers to other hos- pitals. “The state is doing a pretty good job of the let- ting the right people know what is available during that period of time,” Gar- ton said. “Everybody is thinking about it, which is good.” Dallas Police Department will have extra officers on shift from Aug. 18-21, said Lt. Jerry Mott. “Our event is mostly con- tained to the downtown core and then the campsites, which makes it easier to manage with available staffing,” Mott said. “We will be augmented by some CERT staff during expected peak times.” He said a lot of communi- ties in Oregon outside of the path of totality are schedul- ing events, so resources will be thin all over. Mott said the department is still looking for translators to help communicate with guests who don’t speak Eng- lish well or at all. “This would be for situa- tions like lost children or di- rections, not for criminal in- vestigations,” he said. Those who would like to volunteer, call 503-831-3516. Garton added that people should keep in mind respect for other people’s property in their quest to find a per- fect viewing spot. Don’t park or otherwise trespass on people’s property, he said. And above all, take a deep breath and be patient. “Expect to be delayed. The eclipse will happen and then it will be done,” Garton said. “Life will go on; it just might be really, really slow that day.” Health Continued from Page 1A Respiratory Therapy The department will be open Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 9:30 p.m. to assist with emergency, medical/surgical, and any other patients needing respi- ratory care. Laboratory The lab will ramp up staffing on the weekend to expe- dite patient care. Typically, staffing levels drop during weekends, but weekday staffing will continue into the weekend of Aug. 19-20. Imaging Services More staff will be available during the “surge” times of 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. as well additional employees on standby daily from Friday to Tuesday. Rehabilitation A rehab therapist will be on-call Saturday. Otherwise, Rehabilitation Services will operate as usual.
