🧵Be safe during hot weather. People who work outside should take frequent breaks to cool off. Limit outdoor work to earlier in the day when it is cooler outside. In Oregon, employees must have access to water, rest and shade on hot days. Call 211 or visit 211info.org

⚠️With warmer temps forecast this week, remember that our local lakes/rivers/streams/ocean are still VERY cold! Cold water shock is life-threatening! We've already seen numerous deaths due to cold water in the Western U.S. during our most recent heat wave. Stay safe! #ORwx #WAwx

#WildfireAwarenessMonth is here! It's never too early to #BePrepared. One great way is to build defensible space around your home by removing hazard trees. Hazard trees include dead or dying trees that can cause property damage or personal injury in the event of failure.
