FEMA Direct Housing Opportunities- FEMA is finalizing the direct housing options for those survivors who indicated they needed long term housing assistance in their FEMA claim. We encourage all survivors to contact FEMA directly to make sure your FEMA claim is up to date with your current housing situation; your housing options may have changed over the past several weeks and if you have not updated your FEMA claim with current housing status then you may not qualify for additional benefits. FEMA Contact Information: Call FEMA toll-free at 800-621-3362 (TTY: 800-462-7585) 7am to 10pm, PDT, Seven days a week. Visit DisasterAssistance.gov or use FEMA’s mobile app.

On September 15, 2020, President Donald Trump approved a request for an Oregon Disaster Declaration from Wildfires and Straight-line Winds, which resulted in DR-4562-OR. The FEMA Hazard Mitigation mission, to protect lives and prevent or reduce the loss of property from hazard events, aligns directly with the FEMA Mission Statement of helping people before, during and after disasters. Hazard Mitigation is defined as sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from hazards and their effects.
