Calendar Event Sorting
At the top, the 24/7/365 SAMHSA Disaster Helpline and similar links.
Next, Bundled “All Day” Events
Some organizations (like 12 step recovery programs, AA, NA, AlAnon, etc.) have so many events happening throughout the day that they need to be in a bundled listing to spare endless scrolling. Often there is a link to look up events by zip code and other criteria.
Lastly, Time-Specific Events
So you can see what’s happening in the next hours, time specific events are tagged and listed by start time from 12:01am early morning to 11:59pm late night. There can be events and warmlines operating in different time zones, though we try to list all in Oregon’s Pacific Time Zone.

Supporting Mental Health After Wildfire: A Call for Community Care
As communities recover from the impacts of recent wildfires, many individuals are left coping with more than just physical loss. The emotional and psychological toll can linger long after the smoke has cleared.
It’s important to recognize when a normal reaction shifts into something more concerning. Emotional responses like fear, sadness, anger, or fatigue are natural and okay in the aftermath of a disaster. It may be a sign that someone needs additional mental health support if:
- these feelings become prolonged,
- are overwhelming,
- or begin to interfere with daily functioning.
How We Can Support Each Other:
- Check in with neighbors and coworkers. A simple conversation can be a lifeline.
- Create space to express emotions. Let people share at their own pace—without judgment. Remember not everyone, especially children and teens, may express emotions and needs the same way others do.
- Know the signs of distress. Fear, anger, sadness, worry, frustration, changes in sleep, appetite, energy or behavior, difficulty concentrating or making decisions, worsening physical health, and increases in use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs may indicate someone needs help.
- Encourage rest and recovery. Healing takes time. Support one another in slowing down and reconnecting with the people and activities you enjoy.
- Stay informed through the news and official sources. It can be helpful to stay informed of resources and steps to recovery. Yet too much can increase stress and anxiety. Taking brief breaks from the news cycle can help find a good balance. Perhaps tag-team who will look at information and report any new, essential information to others, with the responsibility shifting over set time intervals.

Supporting Mental Health After Wildfire: A Call for Community Care
As communities recover from the impacts of recent wildfires, many individuals are left coping with more than just physical loss. The emotional and psychological toll can linger long after the smoke has cleared.
It’s important to recognize when a normal reaction shifts into something more concerning. Emotional responses like fear, sadness, anger, or fatigue are natural and okay in the aftermath of a disaster. It may be a sign that someone needs additional mental health support if:
- these feelings become prolonged,
- are overwhelming,
- or begin to interfere with daily functioning.
How We Can Support Each Other:
- Check in with neighbors and coworkers. A simple conversation can be a lifeline.
- Create space to express emotions. Let people share at their own pace—without judgment. Remember not everyone, especially children and teens, may express emotions and needs the same way others do.
- Know the signs of distress. Fear, anger, sadness, worry, frustration, changes in sleep, appetite, energy or behavior, difficulty concentrating or making decisions, worsening physical health, and increases in use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs may indicate someone needs help.
- Encourage rest and recovery. Healing takes time. Support one another in slowing down and reconnecting with the people and activities you enjoy.
- Stay informed through the news and official sources. It can be helpful to stay informed of resources and steps to recovery. Yet too much can increase stress and anxiety. Taking brief breaks from the news cycle can help find a good balance. Perhaps tag-team who will look at information and report any new, essential information to others, with the responsibility shifting over set time intervals.

Supporting Mental Health After Wildfire: A Call for Community Care
As communities recover from the impacts of recent wildfires, many individuals are left coping with more than just physical loss. The emotional and psychological toll can linger long after the smoke has cleared.
It’s important to recognize when a normal reaction shifts into something more concerning. Emotional responses like fear, sadness, anger, or fatigue are natural and okay in the aftermath of a disaster. It may be a sign that someone needs additional mental health support if:
- these feelings become prolonged,
- are overwhelming,
- or begin to interfere with daily functioning.
How We Can Support Each Other:
- Check in with neighbors and coworkers. A simple conversation can be a lifeline.
- Create space to express emotions. Let people share at their own pace—without judgment. Remember not everyone, especially children and teens, may express emotions and needs the same way others do.
- Know the signs of distress. Fear, anger, sadness, worry, frustration, changes in sleep, appetite, energy or behavior, difficulty concentrating or making decisions, worsening physical health, and increases in use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs may indicate someone needs help.
- Encourage rest and recovery. Healing takes time. Support one another in slowing down and reconnecting with the people and activities you enjoy.
- Stay informed through the news and official sources. It can be helpful to stay informed of resources and steps to recovery. Yet too much can increase stress and anxiety. Taking brief breaks from the news cycle can help find a good balance. Perhaps tag-team who will look at information and report any new, essential information to others, with the responsibility shifting over set time intervals.

Supporting Mental Health After Wildfire: A Call for Community Care
As communities recover from the impacts of recent wildfires, many individuals are left coping with more than just physical loss. The emotional and psychological toll can linger long after the smoke has cleared.
It’s important to recognize when a normal reaction shifts into something more concerning. Emotional responses like fear, sadness, anger, or fatigue are natural and okay in the aftermath of a disaster. It may be a sign that someone needs additional mental health support if:
- these feelings become prolonged,
- are overwhelming,
- or begin to interfere with daily functioning.
How We Can Support Each Other:
- Check in with neighbors and coworkers. A simple conversation can be a lifeline.
- Create space to express emotions. Let people share at their own pace—without judgment. Remember not everyone, especially children and teens, may express emotions and needs the same way others do.
- Know the signs of distress. Fear, anger, sadness, worry, frustration, changes in sleep, appetite, energy or behavior, difficulty concentrating or making decisions, worsening physical health, and increases in use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs may indicate someone needs help.
- Encourage rest and recovery. Healing takes time. Support one another in slowing down and reconnecting with the people and activities you enjoy.
- Stay informed through the news and official sources. It can be helpful to stay informed of resources and steps to recovery. Yet too much can increase stress and anxiety. Taking brief breaks from the news cycle can help find a good balance. Perhaps tag-team who will look at information and report any new, essential information to others, with the responsibility shifting over set time intervals.
