If you are in need of a mask, you may pick one up at the Sumner-Bonney Lake Family Center. Check out Pierce County's post for all the details - they ask that you call ahead to check for availability.

If you, your family, or anyone you know is in need, several Pierce County organizations volunteered their locations as “pick-up sites” for cloth masks, free to community members. All individuals and families must call first to confirm available supplies before visiting each location. Learn more here at https://bit.ly/38wkA45. ... See more

Today at noon will be another test of the Lahar warning system. It is also a good time to take a look at your emergency supplies and evacuation route should there ever be a lahar. Don't be caught unprepared. Take a look at Pierce County's website all about Mt. Rainier and making an emergency plan.

With looser restrictions during Phase 2, we are seeing more people on the roads again. Here are some summer driving tips to travel safely.

Avoid distractions: Eliminate any distractions, like eating, grooming, and using cell phones when you are behind the wheel. Stay focused on the road.

Share the road: With more people than ever on the highways and byways in the summer months. You should be on the lookout for cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends keeping a safe following distance of 3 to 4 seconds behind motorcyclists.

Buckle up: This should be a no-brainer, but summertime makes everyone loosen up. But don't loosen that seatbelt. It could save your life!
