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.”
