Behind the scenes, emergency managers work year-round to help communities prepare for, respond to and recover from wildfires, extreme weather like floods, heat waves and ice storms, disease outbreaks, industrial contamination, and water and air quality issues.

211 is Oregon’s designated statewide information line during disasters and public emergencies, and the front door to information and resources before, during and after public emergencies and disasters.

Our 211info emergency management team works closely with statewide, regional and municipal emergency management partners, as well as local community-based organizations, to help communities prepare and maintain accurate, timely and reliable information and resources.

Learn more about how emergency management and disaster response works at 211info, and how we help people find the right resources to prepare, plan and recover: 211info.org/2026/07/heat-smoke-fire/ -response

Protecting Livestock from Smoke Exposure

The OSU Extension Service advises that wildfire smoke contains fine particles that can irritate animal respiratory systems. During smoke events, livestock owners are encouraged to minimize animal exercise, provide abundant fresh water, and use dust‑free bedding or feed. Misting or sprinkling holding areas can also help reduce airborne particulates.

A recent OSU study found that even short-term smoke exposure can elevate stress markers in calves and activate immune responses before outward symptoms appear. Producers should closely monitor air quality forecasts and adjust livestock activities accordingly.

Livestock intended for exhibition should only be shown on days with favorable air quality and should be monitored for signs of respiratory stress.

🚫🪵 Hot temperatures and lack of moisture have led to extremely high fire risk across Mt. Hood National Forest. Beginning today, August 14, select activities including chainsaw use to cut firewood are temporarily prohibited on the entire Forest.

Industrial Fire Precaution Levels (IFPL) apply to permitted, commercial, and industrial operations on federal land. Mt. Hood National Forest is divided into four protection units, based on climate and fire risk. On forest lands east of OR Hwy 35, the IFPL is 4; on forest lands west of OR Hwy 35, the IFPL is 3: https://www.fs.usda.gov/r06/mthood/fire/info/industrial-fire-precaution-levels
