SALEM, Ore. — Gov. Tina Kotek has requested a major disaster declaration from President Donald Trump following severe storms that struck Oregon from Dec. 15 to Dec. 21, 2025. The request seeks public assistance for nine counties — Clackamas, Hood River, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Polk, Tillamook, Union and Yamhill — and statewide access to the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.  

 

 "The scale of damage from December's severe storms impacted multiple Oregon communities, with more than $15 million in losses and needed repairs. Rural communities are stretched beyond their limits, and help from FEMA is urgently needed,” Governor Kotek said. “I'm requesting a major disaster declaration from President Trump because Oregonians did the hard work of showing up for each other and they deserve federal support to rebuild." 

 

The storms brought record rainfall, high winds and an atmospheric river that caused widespread flooding, landslides and mudslides. At the peak, more than 300,000 Oregonians were without power, and multiple highways and interstates were closed. One person died in Yamhill County. The Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) has created an interactive StoryMap detailing the event and its timeline. 

 

A joint preliminary damage assessment validated more than $15.4 million in eligible damages. Tillamook County had the highest per-capita damage at $154.29 per person. Without federal assistance, rural communities and consumer-owned utilities could face significant financial strain. 

 

“This storm struck our communities with little warning, leaving widespread damage and compounding the hardships from earlier storms and ongoing recovery efforts,” Erin McMahon, OEM director, said. “Local governments and utilities have worked tirelessly to protect lives and restore essential services, but the scale of destruction far exceeds what local resources can manage alone. Federal assistance is critical to help communities recover and build resilience against future disasters.” 

 

If approved, the declaration will provide funding for debris removal, emergency protective measures and repairs to roads, bridges, utilities and other public infrastructure. Hazard mitigation funding would support long-term projects to reduce future disaster impacts.

Oregon Adopts New Disaster Recovery Plan - 01/27/26

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

Oregon Adopts New Disaster Recovery Plan

SALEM, Ore. — Jan. 27, 2026 — The Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) is pleased to announce the formal adoption of the Oregon Disaster Recovery Plan (ODRP), Volume IV of the State of Oregon Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP). This plan establishes a statewide framework to guide recovery efforts following disasters and supports local and Tribal jurisdictions in restoring and revitalizing communities. 

 

"The Oregon Disaster Recovery Plan strengthens our state's ability to support communities when disaster strikes,” Governor Kotek said. “Coordinating resources effectively, prioritizing equity in recovery efforts, and helping Oregonians rebuild stronger and more resilient communities are at the heart of our planning efforts.” 

 

The ODRP was developed under the authority of Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 401 and aligns with the National Disaster Recovery Framework published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). It reflects lessons learned from recent disasters, including the 2020 Labor Day Wildfires, and incorporates best practices to ensure Oregon is prepared to manage recovery operations effectively. 

 

“The Oregon Disaster Recovery Plan reflects our commitment to help communities—including households, individuals and businesses—not only recover from disasters, but emerge stronger and more resilient,” Erin McMahon, Director, Oregon Department of Emergency Management, said. “Recovery is a locally driven process, and this plan ensures the state is ready to provide the guidance, resources and coordination needed to support Oregon’s diverse communities. It aligns local, state, and federal partners under one framework prioritizing the needs of Oregonians.  By working together, we can restore critical services, rebuild infrastructure, and prioritize equity so that every Oregonian can recover fully.” 

About the Plan 

The ODRP is intended to be an all-hazards document that provides the state with a scalable recovery organization that can be implemented for incidents of varying levels of complexity and includes the following: 

  • Recovery Organization: Defines roles and responsibilities for state, local, Tribal, and federal partners during recovery operations as well as the organizational structures in place during recovery. 
  • Recovery Concept of Operations: Outlines how recovery activities will be organized, coordinated, and managed at the state level in a disaster, and addresses relevant topics such as the recovery continuum and the interface between response and recovery operations. 
  • Equity Vision: Ensures recovery efforts address the needs of disproportionately impacted communities and promote inclusive, accessible solutions. 
  • Recovery Support Functions (RSFs): Organized approach to state coordination and resources into seven RSFs—Community Assistance, Economic Recovery, Health Services, Human Services, Disaster Housing, Infrastructure Systems, and Natural and Cultural Resources—to streamline coordination and support. 

Why the Plan Matters 

Disasters in Oregon—such as wildfires, floods, landslides, and winter storms—can have long-lasting impacts on communities. The ODRP provides a roadmap for restoring essential services, rebuilding infrastructure, and supporting economic and social recovery. It emphasizes collaboration across the whole community, including local governments, Tribal Nations, businesses, nonprofits, and residents, to ensure recovery is locally driven and state supported. 

Next Steps 

With the plan adopted, OEM will: 

  • Convene quarterly meetings with recovery partners to maintain alignment and readiness. 
  • Finalize annexes that define coordination and partnerships during all recovery phases and collaborate with state agencies to include detailed descriptions of their roles and responsibilities.
  • Provide local and Tribal jurisdictions with whole community planning and capacity building through funding opportunities, training and exercises, and technical assistance.
  • Collaboratively develop and implement recovery strategies to support community-led recovery efforts before and after disasters.
  • In October, the statewide exercise, Lahar’d Times, will focus on testing post-volcanic event recovery processes laid out in the plan. You can read more about the state exercise program on the OEM website. 

What Can You Do? 

For community members wanting to be more involved, reach out to your local office of emergency management and ask if there are recovery organizations in your area looking for volunteers. 

Finally, being prepared for disasters in your community can help reduce the impacts and thereby minimize recovery needs.  

  • Make sure that you have sufficient insurance coverage for all the major hazards in your region;  
  • Get your household prepared by using OEM’s Be2WeeksReady Toolkit; 
  • Or join your local CERT or the volunteer search and rescue team connected to your county sheriff’s office; 
  • Remember, disaster response and recovery are a whole community effort.

Oregon Deploys Snowcats To Strengthen Winter Emergency Response (Photo) - 01/26/26

 

SALEM, Ore. — Jan. 26, 2026 — Oregon is strengthening its winter emergency response capabilities with the deployment of new, state-of-the-art snowcats through the State Preparedness and Incident Response Equipment (SPIRE) program. The specialized vehicles, designed for austere environments and extreme winter conditions, are now supporting local jurisdictions across the state. 

 

These highly maneuverable, top-of-the-line snowcats are built to operate in deep snow and hazardous conditions where traditional vehicles cannot safely travel. Equipped with climate-controlled, insulated cabs, the snowcats are capable of safely transporting responders and assisting with the movement of hypothermic patients during severe winter weather events. 

 

Klamath County recently deployed one of the snowcats during the first heavy snowfall of the season to support a search and rescue mission involving multiple motorists who became trapped in deep snow. As conditions rapidly deteriorated and traditional vehicles were unable to access the area, the snowcat was used to safely reach stranded individuals and support response operations during the storm. 

 

The deployment demonstrated the snowcat’s ability to operate in deep snow, poor visibility and confined areas while maintaining stability and performance. Its advanced design and high maneuverability allowed responders to access locations that would have otherwise been unreachable, making it a critical asset for emergency response, access and rescue missions during severe winter weather. 

 

“This snowcat gives us the ability to safely reach people and places we simply couldn’t access before,” Sergeant Dan Towery, Klamath County Sheriff’s Office, said. “During severe winter weather, that capability can mean the difference between delayed response and timely assistance. The climate-controlled cab also allows us to transport patients who are at risk of hypothermia while keeping responders safe and operational.”  

 

Through the SPIRE program, snowcats have been placed with the following agencies to support regional winter response needs: 

  • Klamath County 
  • Hood River County Sheriff’s Office 
  • Umatilla County 

By pre-positioning specialized equipment with local partners, SPIRE helps ensure resources are available where and when they are needed most. These snowcats enhance local capacity to respond to winter storms, support stranded residents, maintain access to critical facilities, and assist emergency medical operations in extreme conditions.  In addition to supporting local operations, the snowcats enhance the ability to assist neighboring jurisdictions through mutual aid, expanding regional response capacity during severe winter weather and ensuring critical resources can be deployed where they are needed most. 

 

The SPIRE program focuses on equipping local jurisdictions with high-impact response assets that strengthen preparedness, improve coordination, and enhance public safety statewide.
