The Port of Umpqua strongly urges residents, visitors, commercial fishermen, and recreational boaters to take necessary precautions.

* Stay away from beaches, jetties, breakwaters, and exposed shoreline areas.

* Use extreme caution around docks, marinas, and waterfront facilities.

* Secure vessels, equipment, and loose items that may be affected by strong winds and heavy surf.

* Avoid unnecessary activities near the water during hazardous conditions.

* Never turn your back on the ocean. Large, unexpected waves can sweep people into the water without warning.

Reports of highly pathogenic avian influenza in ducks and geese increasing in Willamette Valley.

Many of the geese migrating through Oregon are showing signs of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), with many other sick and dead birds being reported to ODFW. The majority of these reports currently are from the Willamette Valley and the Cackling goose (a smaller subspecies of the Canada goose) appears to be the most heavily affected.

ODFW urges people to avoid contact with sick birds and keep pets away. Dead birds can be disposed of – it is recommended to wear disposable gloves and a mask, and double-bag the carcass before putting it in the trash.
