We were honored to have Maurice Goodall Okanogan County Emergency Management and Chief Nattalie Cariker Brewster Police Department talk to us this morning at the general Chamber meeting about community and business safety.
The Emergency Management Department aids in responding and recovering from emergencies in our county. To ensure that you receive EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS, you can sign up through okanoganDEM.org -text your zip code to 888777. It is critical that you register your complete and ACCURATE address when signing in to the web site! This applies to both businesses and individual household members.
Chief Cariker updated us on the City's efforts this year to CLEAN UP the ALLEYS around town. It is important, for safety and fire concerns alike, to not park, block or dump anything in the alleys. If you have yard refuse to dispose of, please contact the City for a burn permit, or take your yard debris to the cemetery on Thursdays ONLY from 9am to 2pm. The City will also be citing owners of JUNK VEHICLES if these vehicles remain after receiving warning notifications. Nattalie suggests the Chamber start the phone tree back up with getting business together and have numbers to call.
