SURFSIDE DEPUTY REPORT

DEPUTY T. OSTGAARD

DECEMBER 31st, 2015 – JANUARY 6th, 2016

On 12/31 I was dispatched to the 2200 block of 300th Pl. for a female resident who stated a male was, “walking cir-cles” in front of her house. She stated she believed the subject was high on drugs and her dog was barking at him. I drove through the area, but did not locate the subject.

On 12/31 I was dispatched to the 2200 block of 300th Pl. for a female who stated her dog was barking and “lunging” at nothing. I drove through the area and observed a male walking around his yard.

On 12/31 I was on patrol when I stopped a vehicle because the registered owner had a suspended driver’s license and multiple warrants for her arrest. I contacted the driver, who was not the registered owner, but I knew the passenger to have a suspended driver’s license as well. The jail would not take either subject and the male driver was cited and released for driving on a suspended license.

On 01/05 I became aware that the male subject I had stopped for driving on a suspended license on 12/31 had a felony assault warrant issued for his arrest out of Clark County, WA. The subject was contacted and arrested by US marshalls out of Vancouver. He was taken back to Clark Co. to be booked.

On 01/06 I was dispatched to the 2200 block of 300th Pl. for a female resident wanting to report that her room-mate would not give her back her wallet. I arrived and contacted both subjects involved. This is an on-going is-sue involving more than her wallet. The female stated she found her wallet, but then lost it again. The male sub-ject wanted the female out of the house and I transported her to Long Beach to help her get in contact with someone for State assistance.

Traffic warnings: 5—Traffic citations: 2- Citizen assist: 1- Suspicious circumstances: 2—Warrant arrest: 1

Maintenance Building Update….

The Maintenance Building has really started to take shape! Looks

like Supervision Inc. is nearing completion!

Thanks to member Mark Smith, Surfside now has a year-

round flag flying at Veterans Park! He’s offered to donate

U.S. flags for the park when it’s time to replace. In the past

we’ve removed the flags in the winter months to protect them

from the harsh weather! He’s checking into his ability to

provide the POW flags.

SURFSIDE EMERGENCY CACHE SURVEY

The Pacific County Emergency Management Agency advises that within 30 minutes of an earthquake, a wave

as high as 30 feet could reach Ocean Park. The Emergency Management Committee has worked to get a Surf-

side Pedestrian Evacuation Map printed and available for residents and guests. While you may think you can

just pack your car and drive away – this won’t be possible or practical in the event of a localized event. It is

imperative that you familiarize yourself with guidance on the Surfside Pedestrian Evacuation Map and the Pa-

cific County Tsunami Evacuation Map for Ocean Park and vicinity. Top priority is getting to high ground (50

feet or higher) quickly and safely.

In the event of a tsunami it could take 3-7 days before supplies and assistance reach Surfside.

When disaster strikes there may be no time to gather the things you need — you need to be able to “grab

and go” or “duck, cover and hold” at a moment’s notice.

Each household should prepare kits appropriate for your family members and your business now — it can

save lives and ensure your relative comfort until help arrives.

Other tsunami vulnerable communities in nearby Oregon, residents have taken the extra steps to be better

prepared by establishing emergency supply caches in designated safe high ground areas.

After studying emergency caching efforts in other communities, the Emergency Management Committee has

come to the conclusion that Surfside residents and visitors could benefit from a similar program.

It is believed that more people would benefit from a 3-5 day emergency kit if they had a safe place to store it.

This way, in the case of a real disaster – your supplies could be accessed and you wouldn’t have to worry about

carrying them from your home to high ground.

If there is sufficient interest in an Emergency Cache Container for Surfside, the Emergency Management Com-

mittee will pursue options available to us. Please indicate if you are interested in such a program for our com-

munity by answering the following questions so we can determine the level of interest and potential costs.

Any additional questions, comments or suggestions you might have are welcomed.

I would be interested in storing my emergency kit in a secured container situated in a high elevation site

within Surfside.

YES ○ NO ○

I would be willing to pay a small fee to support the acquisition of a storage container.

YES ○ NO ○

I would be willing to purchase approved 30 gallon plastic barrel to store my emergency supplies in.

YES ○ NO ○

Do you have any questions/comments/suggestions on this issue?

The Emergency Management Committee will be hav-

ing a special showing of “Unprepared” on January

26th 2016 at 1 p.m. at the business office in the board

room.

OPB's 'Unprepared' looks at whether Oregon's ready for a

'megaquake' (we're not)

As if Portlanders and Oregon Coastal residents weren't already freaked out by the pro-

spect of "the really big one," Thursday's "Oregon Field Guide" adds fuel to our freak-out

fire.

In "Unprepared," a one-hour documentary produced by Oregon Public Broadcasting's

Ed Jahn, experts discuss the likelihood of an earthquake happening in Western Oregon,

and how what we need to do to be ready.

And just in case we're tempted to procrastinate, "Unprepared" reminds us that the Cas-

cadia subduction zone is, according to scientists who study it, overdue for a major

earthquake, and the tsunami that would likely follow.

Earthquakes have been at the forefront of many Oregonians' and Washingtonian minds

in the wake of the July New Yorker article titled "The Really Big One," with its anxiety-

inducing thesis: "An earthquake will destroy a sizable portion of the coastal Northwest.

The question is when?"

"Unprepared" features interviews with some of Oregon's earthquake experts, including

Oregon State University professor, Chris Goldfinger. We also see Goldfinger and others

on a research trip to Japan, gathering information about that country's preparation for,

and recovery from, massive earthquakes and tsunamis.

Jahn also examines weak links in Oregon's preparations, including schools that haven't

been upgraded, fuel tanks situated on soil that could turn to "pudding" in a quake, and

the necessity of locating hospitals in Oregon coastal cities on ground high enough not

to be in tsunami danger zones.
