Oregon Lowers Emergency Level
(Salem, OR) -- As containment increases on Oregon wildfires, the Oregon Department of Emergency Management is lowering the emergency status to Level 4. The Emergency Coordination Center is demobilizing, but OEM will continue to support firefighting and recovery efforts. Conditions remain dry across the state and they're urging Oregonians to be careful to avoid starting new fires. OEM is also shifting focus to long-term recovery for communities that were damaged by wildfires. Oregon's Division of Financial Regulation also extended its moratorium on homeowner insurance cancellations until September 29th, for zip codes most affected by wildfires.
