I shared this as a post update on Facebook on March 11 and am now including it in it's entirety with an additional update on the outbreak in Lebanon, Oregon.
I want to take a moment and give an update on COVID-19 and our city. I have spoken with Chief Davis and Canby Fire District is closely monitoring the situation locally, regionally, and nationally. They are communicating with Canby Police Department and with our interim City Manager almost daily.
Chief Davis and CFD have had conversation and reviewed protocols with Hope Village Senior Living Community, Rackleff Place Assisted Living Community, and Countryside Living. Canby Adult Center has protocols in place for our seniors in our community.
A question came up today about emergency communications and do we have them. Here is what Chief Davis shared about this:
“Yes, for emergencies there are communications via emergency alert through your TV, cellphones, and phone. The Clackamas County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is open daily and on weekends monitoring everything that is going on. Canby Fire has been helping in planning at the EOC every day by having a firefighter there to monitor and assist. If Canby has any issues, we will activate the City EOC and plan and call in the Mayor and interim City Manager”.
If you want the most recent updates, please look to the Canby Fire District website and the City of Canby website.
To reiterate - wash your hands often, if you don’t feel well then stay home (self quarantine), if you have Neighbors with poor health check in on them. When there is challenge or when people are in need Canby steps up. Let’s step up and do what we can, when we can.
For up-to-the-minute notifications regarding the coronavirus and COVID-19, please visit the CDC website.
