I have enforced a declaration of emergency for the city of Canby, Oregon, effective today.
After
a series of serious meetings with Chief Davis of the Canby Fire Department, Interim City Manager Amanda
Zeiber, Lieutenant Tro of Canby Police, and Council President Tim Dale the decision was made last night to
sign and place into effect an emergency declaration. The declaration is
for precautionary measures only. By declaring the emergency, this
allows myself and city staff greater flexibility to quickly address hazards
posed by COVID-19, as well as access resources. Additionally, this allows the city and first responders to request assistance and/or reimbursement for expenditures around COVID-19. As of the morning of March 18, there are no suspected cases and/or confirmed cases in Canby.
I want to stress that this is an additional precautionary measure. I want to be in a position
of being proactive, not reactionary. IF this virus spreads and IF we need
access to additional support, we are closer to the front of the line to receive
these. Our Emergency Operations Response Team of Canby Fire, City Hall,
and Canby Police are monitoring the situation very closely. I am strongly
encouraging everyone to stay in place as much as possible. Take care of
yourselves and the people around you. I am confident that by all of us
taking these measures and others, we will come through this much better than if
we do not take these precautionary measures.
As always, you can always email me or message me on my Facebook page. As updates become available, I will post them to Facebook as well.
Thank you and God bless.
HELLO Brian I am truly upset about the fact that our grocery stores are out of everything but this is unneccesary. we are in need of basic nesesseties like toilet paper, hand sanitizer, noodles beans food in general no one should have to stand in lines here for any of this i am truly dissapointed in people hoarding. this just goes to show you no one cares about anyone but themselves maybe the stores should adjust there orders for more. i have been 7 times without any luck i am also on oxygen and finding distilled water for my machine has been impossible until yesterday. Ido not know what would happen if we really did have a shortage and we could not recover.people need a stern talking to from you through the news or something step it up and make things happen in this small town of theives thankyou.
