💧September is National Preparedness month💧

Another easy step you can take to get prepared is to: STORE WATER.

When an emergency happens, water is one of the most important things you’ll need for cooking, drinking, and hygiene!

A good goal is to store at least 1 gallon of water per person, per day. Building up a two-week supply takes time, so don’t feel like you need to do it all at once. And don't forget your pets! Make sure you have enough water for them, too.

✅Start small: Pick up a couple of extra containers of water the next time you’re at the store and add them to your emergency supplies.

⚠️The mobile speed cameras will be moved today. Read the post below for more information!

🚨 The mobile speed cameras are moving 🚨
They will be moved tomorrow, 8/27/26 into the school zone of Sherwood Middle School at SW Meinecke Pkwy / SW Sir Lancelot Lane. The cameras will begin working and issuing citations starting on Monday, 8/31/26. There will not be a grace period for this new location. The speed threshold will still be 11mph+. Which means if a vehicle is driving 11mph or more over the posted speed limit, they will be issued a citation.

Citations issued while school zones are active between 7am and 5pm will have enhanced fines; Under ORS 811.235, speeding violations in school zones carry enhanced fines. The fine amounts for each violation are:

• Class C Speed Violation (11MPH-20MPH): $325
• Class B Speed Violation (21MPH-30MPH): $525
• Class A Speed Violation (31mph+): $875

Please help keep our kids and community safe by slowing down and driving safely, especially through school zones.
