Advance notice for firework displays
Provide at least 2 weeks advance notice via social media pages, websites, newspapers, and radio to advise Bend residents of upcoming firework displays.
Why is this important?
Firework displays are not only disruptive to the community but also cause significant distress in some populations, including veterans, children, and others with noise sensitivity. Many of our pets are also noise phobic, and fireworks can cause pets to injure themselves, run away from home, or destroy things within the home. Public announcement of firework displays is a common courtesy that will allow people to plan adequately to keep themselves and their pets safe.
