Oregon flood victims asked to complete damage assessment survey
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The Oregon Department of Emergency Management is asking victims of the March floods to complete a survey, which will help ensure that no damages are missed in the state’s assessment of the disaster.
Heavy rain brought on by an atmospheric river flooded towns, washed out roads and caused numerous slides in southwest Oregon between March 15 and 16.
“If your home was damaged, please complete the Public Individual Assistance Damage Assessment Survey,” the Oregon Department of Emergency Management wrote on social media. “Your report helps Douglas County Emergency Management understand the impact on our community and support a request for state and federal disaster aid.”
On March 19, Gov. Tina Kotek declared a state of emergency in response to the flooding. Douglas County assessors are actively working to calculate the damages suffered during the March floods.
