Covid-19 Moderna Vaccine

Wednesday, 24 February 2021 by Morgan Gaines
Covid-19 Moderna Vaccine Application
CTCLUSI Covid-19 Vaccine Consent Form

The COVID-19 Moderna Vaccine was approved for Emergency use Authorization (EUA) for ages 18 and older. This means that we will be getting the Moderna Vaccine. Please take a few minutes to fill out this short application. The purpose of this application is so that the CTCLUSI Health Department can gather data on who would like the COVID-19 vaccine. This data will be used to set up appointment times, and keep those who want the vaccine informed. 

Disclaimer: CTCLUSI is getting a very limited supply of the COVID-19 vaccines for the first distribution, yet expect to receive more vaccines when available. The second distribution of vaccines is unknown. It is our goal to make sure that everyone that wants the vaccine has the opportunity to receive it. There are 10 doses of vaccine in each vial, and once a vial is punctured it is only is good for 6 hours, it will then be disposed of if not used. Due to this, having a list of names and contact numbers will help to prevent the waste of the vaccine if someone is unable to receive it. The vaccine is a two dose vaccine, the second dose is 28 days apart from the first dose.

***Disclaimer: Consent form must be filled out and dated for the day the vaccine is available and administered. Forms are available at the vaccine site to fill out. (updated 1/12/21)

***Update: The Covid-19 Moderna vaccination is now open and available to all staff and spouses. If you are interested, please complete the Covid-19 Moderna Vaccine Application. (updated 2/3/21).

***Update: The Covid-19 Moderna Vaccination is now open and available to CTCLUSI employee’s over 65 and older or high risk medical extended family. Please complete the Covid-19 Moderna Vaccine Application. (updated 2/24/21).

Weather Conditions Call for Awareness, Preparedness

Tuesday, 12 January 2021 by Morgan Gaines

News Release from Oregon Office of Emergency Management
Posted on FlashAlert: January 11th, 2021 6:04 PM

Oregon’s Office of Emergency Management urges residents to be prepared for flooding, landslides and power outages

Salem, OR – January 11, 2021 – With heavy winter rains and high winds forecasted across the state over the next few days, Oregon’s Office of Emergency Management encourages residents to be aware – and prepared – for flooding, landslides and power outages.

Basic preparedness actions can help prevent dangerous situations. This begins with having an emergency kit with necessary supplies for up to two weeks, a practiced family plan with steps for what to do in an emergency, and knowing the difference between a flood watch and a flood warning.

Flooding
Intense rainfall over a short period of time can cause rivers and streams to rise rapidly, often catching people living near these water sources off guard. Flash floods move with incredible speed and occur when heavy rain falls on already-saturated ground. In addition, loss of vegetation due to wildfires leaves the ground charred and unable to absorb water. Even areas that are not traditionally flood-prone are at risk of flooding for up to several years after a wildfire.

  • Avoid walking through flood waters; they may be contaminated with oil, gas or raw sewage. Waters may also be hiding hazards and debris.
  • Be aware of weather conditions in your area before driving. Many flood-related incidents are caused by vehicles driven into hazardous waters.
  • Use ODOT’s Tripcheck for the latest road conditions before traveling.
  • Heavy rains reduce drivers’ visibility. When driving, turn on your lights, increase following distance and slow down. Visit ODOT’s webpage for Driving in the Rain Tips.
  • Heed the advice of emergency officials regarding evacuations.
  • Listen to weather and emergency updates on the TV, radio, social media.

Landslides
As Oregon recovers from the recent wildfires, residents living in and around wildfire areas should be aware of risks such as landslides and mudflows. People, structures and roads located below steep slopes in canyons and near the mouths of canyons may be at serious risk.

Signs of landslides include:

  • Changes in landscape such as changes in water runoff, leaning trees or land movement.
  • Water in streams or creeks that suddenly turns muddy or if the amount of water flowing suddenly decreases or increases.
  • New cracks in plaster, tile or foundations.
  • Unusual sounds that might indicate moving debris, such as trees cracking or boulders knocking together.
  • Underground utility line breaks.

For more information on landslides, check http://www.ready.gov/landslides-debris-flow.

Power outages
High winds and downed trees often cause of power outages. Take time to check your emergency kit before a storm hits. At a minimum, every home should have an emergency power outage kit that includes flashlights, battery-operated radio/clock, extra batteries, non-perishable foods, bottled water and blankets.  If you experience a power outage in your home or area:

  • Keep freezers and refrigerators closed.
  • Only use generators outdoors and away from windows.
  • Have alternate plans for refrigerating medicines or using power-dependent medical devices.
  • Check on your neighbors.
  • Stay away from – and don’t drive around – downed power lines and utility lines; even if they are not sparking, they could be energized and extremely dangerous.
  • Turn on your porch light. After response crews complete repairs, they patrol the area of the power failure to see if any lights are still out.

Disaster preparedness is an important priority for the Oregon Office of Emergency Management and we encourage people to prepare for emergencies. It’s critical for families, individuals, communities and businesses to make an emergency plan, and communicate the plan before, during and after emergencies. For additional preparedness resources, visit https://www.oregon.gov/oem/hazardsprep/Pages/Individual-Preparedness.aspx.

CTCLUSI Reflects on 36th Year of Restoration

Thursday, 15 October 2020 by ctclusi_staff

In 1855 the Tribes signed the Oregon Coast Treaty but it was never ratified. In 1954 The Western Oregon Termination Act is passed by Congress severing relations with 43 Tribes and bands of Indians in Western Oregon. In 1984, after years of hard work, Public Law 98-481 restores Federal recognition to the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians. Since our Restoration, October 17, 1984, some of the Tribes major accomplishments are: the return of our Forest Lands of just under 15 thousand acres; the return of Naval Facility at Coos Head; the return of Gregory Point; our purchase of the old Elks building in Coos Bay, now the Administration building which also houses our Dental Clinic, that was recently remodeled and expanded; the economic development of Three Rivers Casino and Hotel in Florence and the Three Rives Casino in Coos Bay Oregon; the purchase of the old Camp Easter Seal property in Lakeside OR; and Housing for our Tribal membership in North Bend and Florence, Oregon.
Due to our countries current state, with the COVID -19 Pandemic and the recent devastating fires in Oregon, Washington and California, we will not hold an in-person celebration for our Restoration this year. We would like to invite you all to please visit the Tribes website at www.ctclusi.org for images from past Restoration events of our pride in history, culture and accomplishments. Giving thanks to all of the members before us that worked so hard toward our Restoration and helped to pave a path for our future success for many generations to come. Special thanks to all those who work so diligently towards our Restoration in 1984. Also sending thanks to all our Tribal Council leaders since Restoration who worked towards achieving the accomplishments listed above and for so much more. Everyone please stay safe. We hope to see you all next year!
-Debbie Bossley, Tribal Council Chair
