The top priority of the City of Corvallis in all emergency situations is to protect public and employee health and safety while focusing on business continuity in order to deliver the essential services our community depends on. The coronavirus pandemic currently active in Oregon and across the country is no exception.

The City of Corvallis, in collaboration with Benton County, Linn County, City of Albany, City of Monroe, City of Adair, City of Philomath, Corvallis School District 509J, and Oregon State University, will be adjusting services at most facilities, offices, and sites to reduce public access, effective March 18. Most of these sites will continue to be fully staffed, and many services are available online or over the phone.

City Manager Mark Shepard declared a local emergency for the City of Corvallis as the city organization works to mitigate service disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The announcement came at 5 p.m. Friday, March 13.

With the announcement, the City can access state and federal resources if the response exceeds local capacity. Oregon Governor Kate Brown issued a statewide emergency declaration on March 8.

La gobernadora Kate Brown emitió una orden ejecutiva el 23 de marzo que ordena a los residentes de Oregón que se queden en sus hogares, excepto para los viajes esenciales. Si no está seguro acerca de una actividad, omitirla. Quedarse en casa tanto como sea posible durante este tiempo salvará vidas.

Más información sobre la orden ejecutiva, incluida una lista de qué hacer y qué evitar hacer, está disponible en línea.

Potholes, bus stops, and housing grants – these aren’t the things we normally associate with the U.S. Census, but that’s what is at stake in Corvallis as the 2020 Census approaches.

The Census happens once every 10 years and provides an opportunity to count every person residing in the United States. This includes people of all ages, races, ethnic groups, citizens and noncitizens. Census materials will be mailed out later this month, and responses will be collected starting in April.

A hate and bias incident is any hostile expression that may be motivated by another person’s race, color, disability, religion, national origin, sexual orientation or gender identity. The act does not need to be a federal, state or local crime.
