You may not know this, but… a lot of what OES does happens behind the scenes.

During an emergency, you may see firefighters, law enforcement, road crews, utility workers, and other responders working directly in the field. Siskiyou County OES often plays a different role - helping coordinate the people, information, resources, and agencies supporting that response.

That can include:
• Coordinating with local, state, federal, and partner agencies
• Supporting emergency communications and public information
• Helping identify and coordinate needed resources
• Maintaining situational awareness as conditions change
• Supporting the Emergency Operations Center when activated
• Helping communities move from response into recovery

We may not always be the team you see on the front line — but we're working alongside and behind our partners to help keep the bigger picture moving.

That’s OES: coordination, communication, preparedness, and support when our communities need it most.

A Little Rain Doesn’t Mean Fire Season Is Over!

Rain is always welcome in Siskiyou County, but a little rainfall is not enough to eliminate our wildfire risk. Grass, brush, timber, and other fuels can remain extremely dry, and fire danger can quickly increase again when warmer, drier, or windy conditions return.

CAL FIRE Siskiyou Unit reminds everyone to:
🔥 Use caution with equipment that can create sparks
🔥 Fully extinguish campfires where they are permitted
🔥 Never park or drive on dry grass or vegetation
🔥 Stay alert to changing weather and fire conditions

Don’t be fooled by a little rain. Fire season is not over, and the burn suspension remains in effect throughout Siskiyou County.

What does OES actually do?

It's a question we get from time to time...and the answer isn't always easy to see.

Unlike many of our emergency response partners, much of the work done by the Siskiyou County Office of Emergency Services team happens behind the scenes. You may not always see OES vehicles or staff out in the field during an incident, but that doesn't mean we aren't working.

OES helps bring together agencies, information, resources, planning, and communication before, during, and after emergencies.

We're going to take you behind the scenes of OES and share a little more about what we do, what we don't do, and how our role fits into the larger emergency response system here in Siskiyou County.

Because emergency management is about much more than what happens when an emergency starts, and we're excited to show you a little more of what happens behind the scenes!

It's National Emergency Management Awareness Month!!

Before disasters, emergency managers build plans, coordinate partners, and prepare for the unexpected. During disasters, they bring people and resources together to support response efforts.

After disasters, they help communities and organizations recover and rebuild.

𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐃𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐄 𝐒𝐌𝐎𝐊𝐄 & 𝐀𝐈𝐑 𝐐𝐔𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄

As of this morning, Siskiyou County’s overall Air Quality Index is approximately 26 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐃 in the Yreka Area but 𝐔𝐍𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐇𝐘 in the Tulelake area. However, conditions vary by location, with some western communities reporting 𝐌𝐎𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄 air quality. The Oregon wildfire smoke can move quickly and cause conditions to change throughout the day.

Residents- especially children, older adults, pregnant individuals, and people with heart or respiratory conditions- should monitor local conditions and reduce outdoor activity if smoke becomes heavy or causes symptoms.

If you smell smoke or see ash:

• Close windows and doors.
• Set vehicle and home air systems to recirculate.
• Avoid strenuous outdoor activity.
• Wear a properly fitted N95 if extended outdoor exposure is unavoidable.

Check conditions near you using the AirNow. Additional guidance is available from Siskiyou County Air Pollution Control.

Smoke conditions can change rapidly; know the AQI before heading outside.
