To the Citizens of Klamath County:

As winter approaches, so do the challenges of severe weather, including heavy snow, icy roads, and potential power outages. The Klamath County Sheriff’s Office wants to remind everyone to prepare now so you, your family, and your neighbors can remain safe during the season.

Winter Preparedness Checklist

Heating & Power:

• Ensure you have both a primary and backup heat source (wood, propane, pellet stove, or portable heaters).

• Store enough fuel or backup power to last at least two weeks—ideally a month.

• Keep extra blankets and sleeping bags on hand.

• If using a generator, always operate it outdoors in a well-ventilated area to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
Food & Water:

• Keep at least a two-week supply of nonperishable food, including items that do not require cooking.
• Store at least one gallon of drinking water per person per day, plus water for pets and livestock.
• Don’t forget baby formula, pet food, and any special dietary needs.

Medical & Safety Supplies:

• Stock a well-equipped first aid kit.
• Ensure you have an adequate supply of prescription medications and necessary medical equipment.
• Have flashlights, lanterns, batteries, and if possible, solar chargers or a battery backup for phones.

Clothing & Shelter:

• Wear layers of thermal, waterproof, and wind-resistant clothing.
• Keep extra winter footwear, hats, gloves, and blankets accessible in your home and vehicle.

Vehicles & Travel:

• Equip your vehicle with snow tires or chains.
• Keep a winter emergency kit in your car, including blankets, snacks, water, a shovel, jumper cables, sand/kitty litter for traction, and a flashlight.
• Maintain a full tank of gas when possible.
Safety During Severe Weather

If you become stranded or run out of essential supplies, call 911 only if you need immediate assistance. The Klamath County Sheriff’s Office and Search & Rescue may transport you to a safe location, if necessary, but please note:

• We cannot transport citizens back to their residences.
• We are unable to deliver supplies to individual homes.
Travel Precautions
• Expect delays with snow removal and drive cautiously on icy roads.
• Leave earlier than normal, reduce your speed, and increase following distance.
• If you are traveling slowly and notice traffic building behind you, pull over in a safe spot and allow others to pass.
• Remember: most winter crashes are caused by driving too fast for conditions, following too closely, or distracted driving.

Preparedness saves lives. Please take the time now to get ready for the season ahead. Together, we can keep our community safe.
Stay safe, travel smart, and care for one another this winter.
Sincerely,

Sheriff Shane L. Mitchell
Klamath County Sheriff’s Office

The fish were spotted above the former site of the J.C. Boyle Dam. The dam was one of four that had blocked the salmon’s migration between the Klamath Basin and the Pacific Ocean. Each of those dams was deconstructed in the largest dam removal project in United States history, which has restored the river to its natural, free-flowing state.

Why did biologists doubt their salmon sighting? https://bit.ly/3IN12ir

Wolves !!! https://www.facebook.com/share/1HFkju3qo8/

During a 2024 reintroduction effort to bring beavers back to where the Tule River Tribe lives, the Yowlumni Pack, one of several wolf packs in California, appeared to have effected the reintroduction effort to some degree. According to the California Natural Resources Secretary, there were multiple documentations of the Yowlumni Pack predating on beavers on the first round of reintroduction. During the time beavers were being reintroduced in the Yowlumni Packs territory, the pack had a minimum of 15 gray wolves (2 adults, 6 yearlings, and 7 pups). After the 3rd round of reintroduction, beavers were able to gain a foothold where the Yowlumni Pack lives. Additionally black bears were also confirmed to be predating on beavers where the Tule River Tribe lives during the reintroduction effort.

This post is simply about educational purposes as since wolves have returned to California, very little is understood about their interactions and impacts towards other wildlife. It’s why monitoring the wolf population in California as it grows is so important so researchers can better understand how they’re impacting ecosystems in the areas they’re reestablishing in. In this case it proved vital during an effort in trying to reintroduce beavers to this area in California. Photo is of the Yowlumni Pack breeding female YOW01F taken July 6th 2023 by Michelle Harris and this post was written by John Marchwick.
