The Douglas County Board of Commissioners Declared a State of Emergency on Sunday, March 16, 2025, at 10:15 am for the entire county due to the 'extreme conditions related to the severe winter storm that impacted our county causing extreme peril to the safety or person and/or the protection of property.' A declaration of emergency empowers authorities to take extraordinary measures to protect lives, property, and public health, including accessing emergency funds, and coordinating resources for rapid response and recovery. Visit Here to read a copy of the declaration. Please be aware that the National Weather Service continues to issue โ€˜Flood Warnings & Flood Advisoriesโ€™ for several areas of southern Oregon, including Douglas County. The warnings and advisories remain in effect through tonight for many areas of the county. Although floodwaters have receded in some parts of the county, many areas are still experiencing the impact of flooding, including high water, road closures, detours, mudslides, debris, downed trees, falling rocks, and damaged roadways. Please be aware that some areas may continue to experience elevated water levels for an undetermined period of time and there is an increased risk of mudslides and falling rocks in areas with steep terrain. Water levels are expected to continue to fluctuate as the National Weather Service is predicting another storm front approaching our area on Wednesday, March 19, 2025. For more information and to follow weather advisories, please visit: https://www.weather.gov/mfr/. We continue to urge motorists to proceed and exercise extreme caution and prioritize safety while driving throughout Douglas County and beyond. If you are traveling through impacted areas, please be patient and expect delays or detours due to heavy equipment, work crews, flaggers and posted closure signs.
