From Oregon Department of Emergency Management 

In December, much of northwest Oregon was under a flood watch due to back-to-back atmospheric rivers in the Pacific Northwest. Many rivers experienced major flooding, and landslides affected much of the state. 

The Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) wants to help reduce the stress of floods and support our local floodplain administrators in Oregon. Below are several resources for staff to help prepare for and recover from flooding.  

• Guide: New Oregon’s Substantial Damage guide (August 2025)  

• Guide: Oregon Flood Recovery Resource guide (September 2025)  

• Website: Floodsmart.gov   

• Website: National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Quoting Tool  

• Video: Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) Substantial Damage floodplain training (April 2025, 1 hour) YouTube video link
