What goes on the ground or down the drain ends up in your local waterways. The main source of pollution in our local waterways comes from our everyday activities, which leave pollutants behind and get picked up in storm runoff. Then they travel from our neighborhoods and get carried to our streams and waterways. There are many ways you can help keep our water clean and protect the waters you love. Learn more Clackamas Water Environment Services, KPTV and our other Clean Water Partners on how to help protect our shared environment.

Measles is spreading in our community! Measles can be very dangerous and even deadly, especially for babies and young children.

Up to one out of every five people who gets it will be hospitalized. One out of every 20 children with measles will get pneumonia, the most common cause of death from measles. One out of every 1,000 people with measles will develop brain swelling, which may lead to hearing loss and intellectual disability. For every 1,000 people with measles, one to three will die from it.

Thankfully, two doses of the MMR vaccine is about 97% effective in preventing measles! And getting vaccinated also protects the people around you who cannot get vaccinated, like young infants and some people who are immunocompromised.

🌲 Let us know what you want from your County Parks! 🌲

Nearly 1.5 million visitors come to the 16 Clackamas County Parks every year to enjoy hiking, camping, swimming, picnicking, boating access, birdwatching, and much more.

If you are or would like to be one of those people, the County wants to hear your thoughts:
• How you use the parks now
• How you would like to enjoy the parks in the future
• What park amenities and services are most important to you
• What improvements or changes are needed to make the parks more enjoyable and accessible

What you say will help us update the Parks System Plan – a long-range guide to decision-making for parks operations, access to nature, and recreational opportunities for the future.

Take the survey and help shape the future of our parks! https://bit.ly/4do0U5w

Starting June 1, 2026, all SNAP households must complete an interview when they apply for or renew their monthly food benefits.

Previously, some people did not have to complete an interview to renew their SNAP benefits. This included households where all adults were age 60 or older or had a disability and no one in the home had income from work. People in these kinds of households will now need to complete renewal interviews.

Interviews are a standard part of SNAP. They help make sure benefits are accurate and reflect each household’s current situation.

Parents, educators, and community members: know a high school student who wants to make a difference in their community?

This summer, the Sunrise Corridor Youth Civic Engagement Program will give students a hands-on opportunity to build leadership, communication, and public speaking skills while learning how local decisions are made.

Participants will:
• Attend interactive workshops
• Explore real community issues
• Build confidence and civic engagement skills
• Complete a final project in September

The program was created as part of the Sunrise Community Coalition effort, where more than 1,500 community members helped shape a shared vision for the future of the Sunrise Corridor. One priority stood out clearly: investing in youth leadership.

The program is free and open to high school students who live, go to school, or spend time in the Sunrise Corridor area of Clackamas County.

Applications close June 5. Students can apply by visiting https://bit.ly/4dH9Kvn

Be Ready Before You Go! 🐾

Wildfires can move fast—make sure your pets are ready too.

• Sign up for PublicAlerts
• License your dog and keep ID tags up to date
• Store vaccination records and medical info in an easy-to-grab place
• Keep recent photos of your pets (in case you’re separated)

Build your GO Kit with your animals in mind 🎒

If you have to leave quickly, you’ll want everything ready.

• Food & water (3–7 days)
• Medications & vet records
• Leash, carrier, or crate
• Comfort items (toys, blankets)
• Waste supplies (bags/litter)

Know your routes and sheltering options 🚗

Have a plan before an emergency hits.

• Make a shelter plan for your animals (friends, family, pet-friendly shelters)
• Identify backup locations
• Plan how you’ll transport your animals—especially large pets
• Connect with groups like ASPCA and Sound Equine Options for resources and support

Emergencies don’t wait—and neither should your plan. 🐾

Taking a few simple steps now can make all the difference for your pets during a wildfire or evacuation. From building a go-kit to knowing where you’ll go, preparation keeps your whole family safer.
