District Reports

We’re experiencing record wildfires and a continuing coronavirus pandemic as we head into September. The dual emergencies make for a challenging fall.

But there are steps we can take to protect ourselves from infection and the devastating blazes. During Emergency Preparedness Month, please take a moment to review the basics such as creating defensible spaces around our homes, registering for emergency alerts and forming evacuation plans.

It’s been a summer - and Fourth of July - like never before as we face the ongoing challenge of the coronavirus pandemic. Please continue to avoid large gatherings, wear face masks in public and practice frequent hand washing. These are the keys to avoiding infection and getting our lives and the economy back on track.

Although the coronavirus has caused great hardship this spring for public health and the economy, there is cause for optimism. Social distancing has kept our infection rate low, allowing us to begin reopening our state. I’m confident that as the summer approaches, the outlook will continue to brighten, and we will get back on track.

Dear Neighbor,

Coronavirus has impacted many of our daily lives. It’s no time to panic but we must take the threat seriously. Read how to protect yourself along with recommendations from state health experts in this newsletter.
