Washington, DC - Senadores estadounidenses Ron Wyden y Jeff Merkley
\ntoday announced that the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) will
\nreceive more than $43 million in additional recovery funds from the Federal
\nEmergency Management Agency (FEMA) for continued hazard tree and debris removal
\nafter the 2020 fire disasters. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cRecovery efforts from the catastrophic 2020 fire season
\nhave been steady, but too many small communities have carried the challenging
\nand expensive burden of taking immediate action to clean up and clear roads
\nafter the fires were out,\u201d said Wyden, who fought hard for federal funding to
\ncover the immense recovery costs after the 2020 fires. \u201cI am gratified to see
\nadditional dollars come into our state to cover crucial hazard tree and debris
\nremoval so that Oregonians can safely concentrate putting resources toward
\nrebuilding our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cOregon\u2019s devastating 2020 wildfire season took a heavy
\nemotional and financial toll on many of our small communities, and we need to
\ncontinue to do everything we can help them recover and rebuild,\u201d said Merkley.
\n\u201cI\u2019m glad this federal funding is headed to ODOT to help ease the expensive
\nburden communities took on to pick up the pieces and move forward. I will keep
\nworking to ensure Oregon communities have the tools they need to recover and
\nbecome more resilient in the face of future wildfires while we take on the
\nclimate chaos fueling these disasters in the first place.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nThese FEMA dollars come in addition to the more than $218
\nmillion in federal reimbursement for hazard tree and debris removal in Marion,
\nLane and Jackson Counties following an increased FEMA cost share formula for
\nall major emergency and disaster events, such as the 2020 fire events in those
\ncondados.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
