Snowstorm damage tops
$17 million in Lane County
Lane County agencies re-
ported $17,339,039 in pub-
lic infrastructure damages
due to the snowstorm that
occurred in late February.
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.

The reported damage
to primary residences and
businesses did not meet
the minimum threshold for
financial assistance to indi-
viduals.
Statewide the total report-
ed damage to public infra-
structure was $30,028,943.
Douglas County, also hard
hit by the storm, reported
$11.1 million in damages.
