Despite reports circulating in the community that the State of Emergency declared for Douglas County’s March 2025 Flood Event has ended, the Douglas County Board of Commissioners has confirmed that the State of Emergency is continuing.

A county release said the commissioners invited a few of the Douglas County Response Team Leaders and a community partner to their weekly meeting last Wednesday to provide progress reports of the first eighteen days of the emergency flood response.

The presenters were Emergency Manager Emily Ring, Public Works Director Scott Adams, Public Information Officer Tamara Howell, Undersheriff Brad O’Dell, and North Douglas County Fire and EMS Chief Brian Burke.
