I will keep working to ensure Oregon has the tools needed to recover and become more resilient in the face of future storms while we take on the climate chaos that is intensifying these disasters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe ongoing climate crisis continues to fuel more extreme weather events and wildfires every year,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>dijo Wyden.<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cReliable infrastructure is essential to ensuring that first responders and crews are able to effectively protect our communities and beautiful outdoor spaces. I applaud this federal award to ODOT for crucial infrastructure projects across Oregon, and will continue to advocate for more resources to keep our communities safe and connected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cReliable roads are essential for safety, connections, and the economy,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>dijo Bonamici.<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cThis much-needed funding will make a significant difference in repairing important routes people use that were damaged by severe weather.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese Emergency Relief grants are crucial for getting our roads and bridges repaired after wildfires and ice storms, especially as climate change continues to make both summer and winter weather events more frequent and more extreme,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>dijo Hoyle.<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cCommunities have been waiting for this support, and I\u2019m glad to see the Department of Transportation respond to our delegation\u2019s call. This funding means safer travel, faster recovery, and stronger communities. I\u2019ll keep fighting to make sure Oregon gets the resources it needs to rebuild and prepare for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWildfires, winter storms, and flash floods are becoming increasingly dangerous \u2013 and costly \u2013 for our communities,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>said Salinas.&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cMy Oregon colleagues and I have been working hard to secure the resources that our state needs to recover and rebuild from these disasters, including funding to repair damaged roads and highways.

One landslide threatened to block I-84, and a large portion of a hillside came down and wiped-out Highway 101.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>$20,000,000&nbsp;for infrastructure repairs following the January 2024 ice storm.&nbsp;<\/strong>This significant winter storm covered much of Oregon in ice, causing trees and power lines to come down across roads and damage signs. The same storm dropped several inches of rain in Southern Oregon, causing flooding and landslides.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>$3,164,000 to repair damages following a series of severe winter storms in December 2021.<\/strong>&nbsp;The stormsbrought excessive rain and high winds across the state of Oregon, lasting until January 10, 2022. Multiple large landslides occurred, temporarily limiting access to I-84, OR 138, OR 30, and several others. Culverts blew out, causing multiple roadway collapses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>$2,765,399 for work to repair damages from severe storms in February 2019<\/strong>. The storms caused heavy snow and ice accumulation, high winds, flooding, landslides, and erosion in the southwestern and western parts of the state, resulting in critical transportation failures, loss of power and communications capabilities, and emergency mass care needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>$2,500,000 for repairs following a series of severe storms in December 2023.<\/strong>&nbsp;The storm system brought heavy rains, flooding, and landslides to five counties and was so severe it caused two roads to collapse\u2014Miami Foley and Sandlake in Tillamook County. It also caused the temporary closure of State Highways 101 and 26. Other federal-aid roads were damaged by scour, washouts, debris flows, and mudslides.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>$538,915 for wildfire recovery efforts following the 2017 fire season.&nbsp;<\/strong>These firessignificantly impacted transportation systems in the following counties: Coos, Curry, Deschutes, Douglas, Hood River, Jackson, Jefferson, Josephine, Lane, Linn, Marion, and Multnomah.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>$300,000 for infrastructure recovery efforts following an atmospheric river in January 2021<\/strong>.
