The funds will be used for emergency work already completed and provide funding for other necessary repairs. FEMA opened the first Disaster Recovery Center in Oregon on February 3. Located in White City, the center will provide information to and answer questions from affected residents seven days a week. Recovery Centers in Klamath and Josephine counties will open later this month. In Washington, more than 3,500 registrations for federal and state disaster recovery assistance have been received.
Flood watches and flood warnings continue intermittently.
In Nevada, more than 3,030 victims of the severe storms, floods, mudslides and landslides have applied for assistance. Flooding concerns continue in Idaho, where the Boise River is at flood state due to a controlled release from reservoirs. Later this spring, the 200 percent of normal snow pack is expected to increase flood worries. An ongoing threat of mud slides in Pollock and Banks is being evaluated to see if homes and businesses are endangered. Numerous slides have already caused transportation problems.
