Jul
The memorial for Shirley Heath is today at the Simnasho Longhouse starting at 9am. Please follow all COVID-19 protocols and respect the requests of the memorial’s designated COVID coordinator.
Warm Springs Tribal Council has approved COVID-19 protocols for events that take place at Longhouses. It is recommended that gatherings be limited to local residents. Applications for longhouse use need to be submitted to Utilities at least one week in advance. A COVID coordinator/monitor must be designated for the event and must keep a log of those in attendance that will be turned in. Drummers must social distance and Cooks/Servers need to follow precautions. Clean up must include proper sanitation. Hand Sanitizer and PPE must be provided to all attendees. Children must remain with adults. Households can sit together as a group but otherwise social distancing needs to be observed. Shaking hands and hugs are discouraged. In general, masking is still encouraged, indoor and even outdoor especially in crowded places and for people who are unvaccinated.
Due to extreme heat predicted thru the weekend, the Cooling Center at the Warm Springs Family Resource Center will be open 10am to 7pm today through Monday (August 2nd).
Everyone is reminded to be fire safe. High temperatures, lack of water, and a high potential for fire due to extreme dryness and drought make it imperative that we all do our part to prevent wildfire and in keeping the community safe. Currently all Warm Springs Reservation Zones are at IFPL Level 4 for Extreme Fire Danger – which is a general shutdown of industrial operations.
