JACKSON COUNTY, Ore Fema has partnered with Jackson County Public Health, Rogue Food Unites and the Department of Health Services to provide free Covid-19 vaccines across Southern Oregon to under-served communities. The two dose Pfizer vaccine will be given at every pop up event for anyone 16 years or older. Parent consent is not needed to receive the vaccine and identification is not required. Both first and second doses will be provided at each pop up event.

Around 40,000 people were evacuated; over 3,000 buildings burned. It can seem like a distant memory for many but not for those still displaced. Starting in September, Redmond s Super 8 motel was among several motel sites utilized by the Red Cross and other aid groups to house displaced people who had evacuated to Central Oregon. As the Christmas holiday approaches, dozens of people are still at that Super 8. In Bend, a handful of restaurants have stepped up to feed the evacuees. Some four months after the fires, amid COVID restrictions that have shuttered their dining rooms, restaurants including Joolz, Spork, Bethlyn s Global Fusion and others are still feeding fire victims.

In retrospect, the unrelenting minor-key clanging of the hollow pipes seems like some kind of omen. But for the next five or six hours, I went about my regular morning routine: coffee, oatmeal, Twitter, work.
Then, around 10 or 11 a.m., the winds guided what became a fierce inferno named the Almeda Fire on a highly destructive path. Fire season always poses a serious threat to Southern Oregonâs Rogue Valley, but no one could have predicted the severity of the Almeda Fire, which primarily affected the towns of Talent and Phoenixâjust north of Ashland. On the following day, FEMA stated that the fire had burned approximately 600 h
