As the incident last month at the McMinnville Wilco reminds us, staying informed of evolving events can not only provide you essential information when something time-sensitive is occurring, but it can also help you be prepared to respond to severe weather, natural disasters, or critical events – no matter when or where they occur.

Information regarding incidents, including evacuation orders, shelter in place orders, and road closures, are sent via Yamhill County Alerts, using the Everbridge Emergency Alert system. Here’s a few tips to help you ensure that you are receiving timely information:

***COURTESY POST***

Our friends at City of Lafayette, Oregon - Municipal Government want to make sure that residents, businesses, and visitors are aware of next week's ADA Sidewalk & Crosswalk Ramp Upgrades. This work will necessitate the temporary closures of sidewalks surrounding the curb ramp upgrades as outlined in their post. This will also limit parking and there will be increased noise and construction activity along Bridge Street at each intersection during the construction.

❗️𝙄𝙈𝙋𝙊𝙍𝙏𝘼𝙉𝙏 𝙉𝙊𝙏𝙀: ❗️Slow down, obey all traffic signals and signs - including temporary signage posted to keep construction crews safe - and be prepared for minor interruptions to traffic flow.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact City staff:
📞 503-864-2451
📧 [email protected]
