EVACUATION AND SHELTERING

Power Disruptions

Wildfire and wind can impact power service. Track and report PGE and Pacific Power outages. If you encounter a downed or sagging power line, use extreme caution and assume the line is live. Learn more about what to do and stay safe during a power outage.  

Water Disruptions

Wildfires can also impact water quality. Make sure you're signed up to receive PublicAlerts in case there's a boil water notice in your area. And learn how to safely store and treat water before there's an emergency. 

ANIMALS

Pets & Livestock

If you have pets and livestock, learn about animal preparedness and how to protect pets from wildfire smoke. 

Wildlife

If you witness wildlife in need of immediate attention, please call your nearest wildlife rehabilitation center. Centers are understaffed and likely to have a high volume of critical patients. They will do their best to return phone calls as soon as they are able. 

 

DONATIONS & VOLUNTEERING

Unsolicited Donations

During a disaster, many people want to help by making a donation. It takes a lot of work to collect, organize, and distribute physical materials. Though well intended, please do not take unsolicited donations to evacuation centers, fire stations, firefighting camps, or any other disaster response organization. Counties have received an influx of donations of materials they are unable to distribute. Unsolicited goods burden local organizations’ ability to meet survivors’ confirmed needs, drawing away valuable volunteer labor, transportation, and warehouse space.  

Financial Donations

Often, the best way to help is with a financial donation to relief organizations actively responding to the disaster. These on-the-ground organizations know what items and quantities are needed, often buy in bulk with discounts and, if possible, purchase through businesses local to the disaster, which supports economic recovery. The following organizations have been vetted and are part of Oregon Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (ORVOAD.org): American Red Cross, Team Rubicon, Northwest Baptist Disaster Relief, Wildland Firefighters Fund, Oregon Food Bank, Oregon Humane Society. 

Physical Donations & Volunteering

To donate food, water, and other items, reach out to your local food pantry or the Community Action Partnership of Oregon (503-316-3951) to see if they are able to receive donations. Additionally, Travel Oregon has compiled a list of organizations throughout the state. If you're interested in volunteering, American Red Cross has an urgent need for help. Visit the State of Oregon's Disaster Volunteers and Donations Portal for more information.
