2A | OCTOBER 22, 2020 | COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL On The Record Lane County Elections reminds voters to check both sides of ballots Ballots are arriving in the mail of registered Lane County voters. Before turn- ing in a ballot, voters should remember to review both sides of the ballot. “Lane County Elections wants to remind registered voters to review both sides of their official ballot. All ballots have additional vot- ing opportunities on the back of their ballot,” said Lane County Clerk Cheryl Betschart. “Once a ballot has been returned it cannot be amended or recast.” Registered voters any- where in Oregon who have changed their address still have time to update their registration and qualify for a full ballot. Those with election-re- lated questions should con- tact Lane County Elections at 541-682-4234.

A state-requested direct housing mission to help provide temporary housing for hundreds of Oregonians displaced by wildfire was granted from FEMA on Oct. 7. The state and FEMA are finalizing the implementa- tion plan for this mission, under which residents in Jackson, Linn and Mari- on Counties who lost their homes in September wild- fires may be eligible. Considerations for pri- oritization of these three counties included factors such as immediate need and lack of available rental resources. Jackson Coun- ty alone accounts for more than half of the homes lost in Oregon. Housing solutions in this mission are tailored to the individual needs and situa- tions of survivors based on how quickly their homes can be repaired to a safe, sanitary and secure con- dition, and the availability of housing options in their communities. “The approval of this housing mission is an im- portant milestone in the recovery process and pro- vides some temporary sta- bility to those who have undergone such disrup- tion,” said Oregon Office of Emergency Management Director Andrew Phelps. “We’re grateful to FEMA for their support and con- tinue to work directly with our state and local partners to put our plans in action.” Direct housing assistance was requested for Doug- las, Jackson, Lane, Lincoln, Linn and Marion Counties. FEMA continues to eval- uate the need for tempo- rary housing assistance in additional affected coun- ties. The state continues to work directly with the Red Cross and other public and private partners to ensure every impacted Oregonian has a safe place to stay. To be eligible for direct Why Choose Us Online Cremation Arrangements At Smith•Lund•Mills housing assistance, Oregon wildfire survivors must reg- ister with FEMA and reside in Jackson, Linn or Marion County. Damage must be to the primary residence and must be a result of the wild- fires. FEMA will reach out to individual households who are potentially eligible for direct temporary hous- ing based on the results of their FEMA inspection. View Obituaries online cgsentinel.com .gov.
