DOUGLAS COUNTY FLOODING UPDATE 3/16/2025 9:00 PM  
  
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. - Today, Douglas County has experienced extensive flooding affecting various areas of the county. As water levels fluctuate, residents are urged to use heightened caution. The Sheriff’s Office wants to remind residents that certain areas may still experience high water levels for some time. This can be particularly challenging to identify after dusk. Motorists are urged to exercise extreme caution and prioritize safety while driving.  
   
Residents who feel it is unsafe to remain at their homes should not wait for a notice to evacuate and should relocate to a shelter or with family/friends outside of the affected area.  
   
Many of the temporary shelters that opened during the day have closed. However, one shelter remains operational this evening located at the Drain Church of Christ (401 2nd Street, Drain).  
   
Any resident experiencing a need for assistance is requested to contact Douglas County Emergency Communications at (541) 440-4471.  
   
Emergency responders have been responding to a surge in flood-related emergencies alongside their regular calls for service. With roads inundated and conditions hazardous, community members are urged to reduce travel to alleviate additional strain on resources. By minimizing unnecessary trips, residents can play a role in supporting emergency efforts and ensuring swift responses where they are most needed.  
   
Sheriff Hanlin and Douglas County Commissioners have been and will continue to provide leadership during the emergency response and subsequent recovery working hand in hand with municipal and community partners.  
   
No further updates are expected this evening.Photos from Douglas County Sheriff's Office's post
