This number does not in- clude damages to Oregon Department of Transpor- tation (ODOT) infrastruc- ture (i.e. Highway 58). The majority of the dam- age was incurred by utility companies, which reported more than $14 million of the total damages. Debris removal made up anoth- er $2.3 million in reported damages, followed by near- ly $500,000 for emergency protective measures. “We weren’t surprised to see that Lane County re- ported the most widespread damage to infrastructure due to the snowstorm,” said Lane County Emer- gency Manager Patence Winningham. “Our utilities and roads were particular- ly affected and required an incredible amount of repair and recovery work.” The request for financial reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Man- agement Agency (FEMA) has been forwarded to the federal government by the State of Oregon. Reim- bursement will only occur if approved by President Trump. If approved, financial re- imbursement would only cover 75 percent of the total damage cost, the remaining 25 percent would be the re- sponsibility of each affected agency.
