Deschutes County Commissioners have extended the COVID-19 State of Emergency for another 60-days. Deschutes County Legal Counsel David Doyle told commissioners, when it comes to reimbursements, FEMA is very technical. He says if there is a break of just one or two days between State of Emergency declarations FEMA could reject reimbursement to the county. Commissioners first declared a COVID-19 State of Emergency on March 13th 2020. The latest extension will continue to April 2nd although Doyle said if conditions change the board can revoke the order at any time.
