The city guides connect local events, weather, walks, housing resources and civic information. The conditions guide helps you find the right live map for roads, smoke, fires or outages. For a specific need, search the resource directory.
Sources and freshness
Weather forecasts and weather alerts come from the National Weather Service. Featured events have short, original descriptions and links to their organizers. News headlines link to the publishers that reported them. Public community posts are labeled as unverified discussion.
City calendar listings are imported from Ashland and Grants Pass. River readings come from USGS, bus locations from RVTD, and Grants Pass road-work notices from the city. Each live section shows when its source was last checked. Saved information is labeled when an update is delayed; old bus locations are hidden.
Conditions, event times and program availability can change. Follow the linked organizer, provider or government page for current instructions before you travel, register or make an important decision.
How we write about the past
Historical articles identify events that the linked records document, including dispossession, forced removal, exclusion and changes to work and government. We attribute Tribal histories to the Tribal nations that publish them and distinguish a city’s promotional account from an independent historical record. When dates or interpretations differ, we identify the uncertainty instead of smoothing it over.
Each history links to its sources and related regional context. A preserved building or visitor attraction is one piece of evidence, not a complete account of the people who lived there. Read the history collection →
When to use the original source
Official agencies control evacuation orders, election instructions, road closures and benefit eligibility. This guide helps you reach the right source and understand what to check; it does not replace those notices. In an immediate emergency, call 911.
