Missed having a #NationalNightOut event in our neighborhood like we did last year but would still like to say Thank You to Keizer Police Department, Keizer Fire District, Salem Police Department, Salem Fire Department and any other public safety personnel I missed. I look forward to building public trust and neighborhood camaraderie with you to promote a safe community for all.

With temperatures expected to hit 100 degrees this week, we need to make sure our friends and family are well taken care of. Drink water, take cool showers and seek shade if you have to be outside during the hottest hours to ensure health and safety for yourself and others.

Local government and non-profit organizations are also preparing ways to keep our community cool. Cherriots offers free bus rides to cooling centers and libraries in the Salem-Keizer area for people seeking relief from the heat.
