Recovery mode from Sunday’s flood event continues in Douglas County.

A county release said those in need of flood related resources or who have flood related questions should call the Oregon 2-1-1- Info Line: https://www.211info.org/

County Public Works staff along with some private local contractors continue to work on new mudslides, shoring up existing mudslides, repairing and cleaning up roads, repairing sewer and water systems and more.

The Oregon State University Extension Service has staff available to assist farmers, wineries, private forest landowners, and ranchers assess damage, estimate losses and determine the potential for Federal assistance.

The American Red Cross, at the request of Douglas County, has opened a temporary emergency shelter at the Douglas County Fairgrounds for residents who have been displaced by the storm. At this time, the plan is for the shelter to be open through Sunday. The Red Cross will evaluate the situation on Monday to see if shelter services are still needed.
