🌬️ GUSTY WINDS & WET SOILS: A HOLIDAY HEADS-UP

We are closely tracking wind gusts of 30-45 mph for Christmas Eve. Impacts remains a concern with these wind speeds due to the extremely saturated soils from recent rain. 🌧️

A 40 mph gust can act like a 60 mph gust when the ground is like a sponge. Saturated soil loses its "grip" on tree roots, making "whole-tree" blow-overs much more likely even in moderate winds.

🌲 Stay Safe this Christmas Eve:

SECURE DECOR: Inflatables and loose lights can become airborne hazards. Secure or deflate them by Wednesday morning.

TRAVEL WITH CARE: Expect extra buffeting on bridges and watch for debris on forested routes.

PREPARE FOR OUTAGES: Localized power outages are possible. Charge your devices now!

It doesn’t take a historic storm to ruin a holiday when the environment is already stressed. Stay aware, and be ready for the weather!

We’ve Moved!

Creating Opportunities is excited to share that we have consolidated our two offices into one larger, more functional space at the Micah Building in downtown Salem. Beginning December 1st, you can find us at 680 State Street, Suite 100, Salem OR 97301.

By bringing our staff together under one roof, we can collaborate more closely across all of our programs and maximize our resources – every dollar we save goes right back into serving families.

We’re looking forward to welcoming you into our new space in the new year once we've settled in!
