SPENCER BUTTE
neighborhood association
WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Established in 1954
The Spencer Butte Neighborhood Association (SBNA) was formed in 1954 as a way to keep neighbors connected and informed of things happening in our rural setting. Located in Lane County, Oregon just south of Eugene, our organization has gone through many transformations over the years. In its present state, the SBNA maintains itself as a social organization along with community education and awareness, as it strives to keep neighbors connected and informed about local issues and concerns.

Featured Resources
Watch Duty app, https://www.watchduty.org
Maps wildfires and their status in real-time. Notifications can be set by county.
Several SBNA members have found Watch Duty to be the best way to quickly find about wildfire in our area and to get notifications of nearby fires.
ShakeAlert
ShakeAlert® sends out a cell phone alert as soon as the beginning of an earthquake is detected in Oregon, Washington, or California. The alert could give you enough time to climb down from a ladder, turn off a chain saw, get under a table before the shaking arrives reaches you.
Outdoor Pile Burning
There were already several grass fires in the Eugene/Springfield area last month. Before you burn, think about wildfire and grass fire prevention, even at this time of year.
Lane County Alert Me
Register your cell phone to receive Lane County Emergency Alerts. You can set what you want to receive alerts about, e.g. evacuation orders, weather, etc.
Lane County No Spray Program
Property owners can request that no herbicides be used on their adjacent right-of-way.

Balancing Fire Safety and a Healthy Forest
Forest, open space, & wildlife make this a wonderful place to live. However, these features put our homes and properties at high fire risk during the dry season.
