Eugene, OR – According to the state officials, the now approved declaration follows the January weather emergency and will provide supplemental grants through the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Public Assistance Program to state, tribal, local governments and certain private nonprofits for costs incurred for responding and recovering from the event.

The request announcement from the Governor can be found here.

Governor Kotek reportedly said:

“I am grateful to President Biden for answering our call for help following the January ice and wind emergency and to our federal delegation for amplifying this critical need.

This opportunity for federal assistance will make a significant difference across communities that are still grappling with significant damage from the storm.”
