Warm Springs PD reminds everyone that the Tribes have closed all campgrounds, parks, and lakes located within the boundaries of the Reservation.  While some access is available to Tribal Members, access to these areas is prohibited to non-Tribal members and the closures will be strictly enforced.   Many of the access roads throughout the reservation are closed to non residents.  With less traffic – speeding has increased.  The Warm Springs Police Department has increased patrols on Highway 26 and in many of the outlying areas to help maintain safety – so please SLOW DOWN.

Warm Springs Tribal Government Offices are closed to the public thru April 24th

A resource for educational programming here in Warm Springs are the free OPB TV digital channels available in the Agency and Sunnyside areas.  If you have a digital TV – all you need is an antenna for channels 3.1, 3.2, & 3.3.  Channel 3.4 is OPB Radio.

There is a free online digital learning resource for use at home for children ages 3-5. In Support of children, parents and educators across the nation who are learning at home due to COVID-19, Frog Street for Young Learners is something you can sign up for.  Learn more at parents.frogstreet.com

To vote in the May 19th Primary in Oregon – you must be registered to vote by April 28th.  To register you can visit KWSO.org and click on the voter registration link

Warm Springs Public Safety offers an anonymous tip line that you can call 24 hours a day.  If you have a concern or information related to a theft or other crime call 541-553-2202.

Things everyone should be doing is to:

  • Stay home as much as possible (kids, too).
  • Wash hands frequently
  • Disinfect surfaces routinely
  • Stay at least 6 feet away from others any time you are out
  • Go out only for essentials like groceries, medical care, or work.
  • Wear a face mask – even a homemade cloth mask – when in public
  • Exercise Outside but stay 6 feet apart from others.
  • Use phone and video to connect with people instead of in person

 

  • DO NOT – Gather in groups
  • DO NOT – Get together with friends
  • DO NOT – Have play dates for kids
  • And DO NOT – Make unnecessary trips

The easiest way to complete the 2020 Census during the Covid-19 pandemic is to do it online at https://my2020census.gov/login   If you don’t have the ability to do the census online – you can do the questionnaire by phone.  Call 844-330-2020.

They will begin by asking you for your census ID number.  Because the letters with that number were only mailed to people who get their mail at their street address – most folks in Warm Springs don’t have their Census ID number.  So just say you don’t have one.

They ask for your street address, if you rent or own your home, your sex, age & date of birth, your heritage and race.  They will also ask about who was living in your home on April 1st – how they are related to you, their age and so on.   For Native American households its best to have the census completed by someone who is Native American.  Tribal Members and descendants should fill in “Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Oregon.”  Whether you do the 2020 census online or by phone – the Warm Springs Community Count Committee asks that you take time to do your census today, if you haven’t already done so.
