For Your Situational Awareness

The recent tragic events in Texas have spurred local interest in what the State and Federal Government have done for Oregon Counties following the March/April 2025 Declared Emergency Flood events.  While we cannot speak for other counties, we can provide information specific to Douglas County.

As of today, Douglas County Government has not received any financial assistance or reimbursement from the State of Oregon or Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the March 2025 Declared Emergency Flood Event.   The Douglas County Commissioners along with Public Works, the Sheriff’s Office, 911 Communications, Emergency Management, Parks, Solid Waste, Management & Finance, and several other County Departments without hesitation swiftly activated emergency response efforts during and immediately following the March 2025 Declared Emergency Flood Event. These included rescuing and assisting victims; declaring a state of emergency; coordinating response efforts with local cities and responders; repairing roads, bridges, and infrastructure; conducting damage assessments; and gathering necessary documentation. 

The County diligently documented, compiled, and submitted all required reimbursement and financial assistance requests to the State of Oregon, who submitted a request to FEMA following the disaster. 

The federally designated Long-Term Recovery Group (LTRG), Glide Revitalization (Glide Rev) has received some funding from the State of Oregon to assist homeowners and businesses impacted by the March 2025 Declared Emergency Flood Event.  You will need to contact Glide Rev for more details about the funding they received.   Businesses and residents seeking disaster assistance related to the March 2025 Declared Emergency Flood Event are encouraged to contact the federally designated LTRG (Glide Rev) for information and available resources.  Visit Glide Rev at https://gliderev.com/ or call (541) 671-0189.
