    DESCHUTES COUNTY FAMILY EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS HANDBOOK Deschutes County Sheriff ’s Office Emergency Management Accommodation Information for People with Disabilities To get this information in an alternate format please email [email protected] or, 541-617-3386; relay users dial 7-1-1). WHY PLAN FOR AN EMERGENCY? Central Oregon is a beautiful place to live, but we are vulnerable to disasters, such as severe winter storms, wildfires, earthquakes, windstorms, volcanos, drought, floods and landslides. Many of these disasters have already occurred here and undoubtedly will again. During a disaster, you may be able to stay in your home, but it could be without power or water. This preparedness guide and family workbook will help you be ready for whatever emergencies may occur. Deschutes County residents are fortunate that local emergency services have developed an effective and cooperative emergency response system. Throughout the county, agencies work together closely to prepare for any emergencies that come our way. While agencies can be in a high state of readiness for disasters, there is no substitute for individual preparedness. Deschutes County Emergency Management recommends that you plan to be on your own for a minimum of 72 hours, and preferably one month. You are not being asked to deal with emergencies alone, but your individual preparedness efforts will allow emergency service agencies to work more effectively and efficiently to help everyone in the county. Depending on the scope and severity of the disaster, there may not be enough help to go around The following pages outline a step-by-step guide to disaster planning.

    Local and Regional Governments

    Background Brief on … Local and September 2012 Regional Inside this Brief Governments City Government City Government In the 242 incorporated cities throughout Oregon, city councils serve as the highest authority within city County Government governments in deciding issues of public policy. In open public forums, city councils pass laws (ordinances), adopt resolutions, and generally direct discussions involving the governance of their communities and the Regional welfare of their citizens. Governments City governments typically provide such services as fire and police protection, streets and street maintenance, sewer and water treatment and collection systems, Special Districts building permit activities, libraries, parks and recreation activities, and other numerous social service responsibilities. Cities also have considerable responsibilities for land use planning within their city Staff and Agency limits and urban growth boundaries. Contacts Oregon’s cities are governed by one of four forms that vary in the administrative role of its city council: council/manager or administrator, commission, mayor/council, and strong mayor. Most Oregon cities with populations over 2,500 have the council/manager or council/administrator form, in which the council hires a chief executive officer to be responsible for the daily supervision of city affairs. Portland is the only Oregon city with the commission form of government, where the elected commissioners function collectively as the city council and administrators of city departments. Smaller

    Field-Trip Guide to the Vents, Dikes, Stratigraphy, and Structure of the Columbia River Basalt Group, Eastern Oregon and Southeastern Washington

    Field-Trip Guide to the Vents, Dikes, Stratigraphy, and Structure of the Columbia River Basalt Group, Eastern Oregon and Southeastern Washington Scientific Investigations Report 2017–5022–N U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Cover. Palouse Falls, Washington. The Palouse River originates in Idaho and flows westward before it enters the Snake River near Lyons Ferry, Washington. About 10 kilometers north of this confluence, the river has eroded through the Wanapum Basalt and upper portion of the Grande Ronde Basalt to produce Palouse Falls, where the river drops 60 meters (198 feet) into the plunge pool below. The river’s course was created during the cataclysmic Missoula floods of the Pleistocene as ice dams along the Clark Fork River in Idaho periodically broke and reformed. These events released water from Glacial Lake Missoula, with the resulting floods into Washington creating the Channeled Scablands and Glacial Lake Lewis. Palouse Falls was created by headward erosion of these floodwaters as they spilled over the basalt into the Snake River. After the last of the floodwaters receded, the Palouse River began to follow the scabland channel it resides in today. Photograph by Stephen P. Reidel.
