Douglas County Flood Recovery Update – Next Steps | Press Release

(Douglas County, OR) – Douglas County Board of Commissioners Tim Freeman, Tom Kress, and Chris Boice, and the Douglas County Emergency Management Department would like to thank our community for their continued resilience and collaboration as we move forward in the wake of the March 16, 2025, flood event. We are especially grateful for the strong community response to Action #3, our call for photo submissions to support the county’s FEMA disaster assistance application—your contributions have been invaluable, and that phase is now complete.

As we shift into the next stage of long-term recovery, we’re highlighting Actions 4, 5, and 6, which provide critical tools for cleanup, repair, and rebuilding:

✅ Action #4 – Clean Up Safely & Prevent Mold
Mold can cause serious health issues after a flood. Learn how to clean hard surfaces properly, identify unsalvageable materials, and find trusted local restoration services.

✅ Action #5 – Explore Cash Incentives & Rebates
Replacing HVAC, insulation, or water heaters? You may qualify for cash rebates through Energy Trust of Oregon to offset the cost of energy-efficient upgrades after flood damage.

✅ Action #6 – Need Insurance or Legal Help? Advocacy is Available
⚖️ Struggling with a denied claim or legal questions? Free legal aid and insurance advocacy are available to help you navigate your recovery with confidence.

We also want to remind residents to complete the following critical steps if they haven’t already:

✅ Action #1 – Complete the Douglas County Flood Damage Assessment Survey
This survey is essential to document the widespread damage and support our eligibility for state and federal aid.  Click here to complete the survey

✅ Action #2 – Fill out the Long-Term Recovery Group Form via Glide Revitalization
