It’s Going to Get HOT!!

Saturday and Sunday are predicted to be 100 plus degrees! Some of us will be tempted to turn on two air conditioners. That is not a good idea as we will be stressing our electrical system as it is.

AARP Oregon advises: Get prepared for when disaster strikes

Get prepared for disasters common to Oregon, says AARP Oregon. (AARP)

“It’s important to be ready when disaster strikes. Whether it’s flood, wildfire or other emergency common to Oregon, these events disproportionately affect older adults, many of who have mobility, chronic disease or disability challenges that require them to seek extra assistance to get to safety,” according to an article in June’s AARP Bulletin.

“AARP Oregon is presenting a virtual conference on community preparedness, Resilient Futures 2021, June 28-30 (Monday through Wednesday).

To register for the free event and view the conference sessions, go to: states.aarp.org/oregon/resilient-futures-2021.

“If you can’t watch the conference live but want to view it later, register in advance to receive a link and passcode.”
