Oregon and FEMA Update Disaster News Desk Information

The Oregon Office of Emergency Management and FEMA continue to operate separate news desks to handle media inquiries about recovery operations as a result of last year’s wildfires and straight-line winds.

Media may call the FEMA News Desk: 971-600-0278 and/or the State News Desk: 503-871-8689. They may also email FEMA at FEMA-ORNEWSDESK@fema.dhs.gov or OEM at public.info@state.or.us.

The number is for media outlets only. Disaster survivors who need help should call FEMA’s helpline at 800-621-3362 or TTY 800-462-7585, visit DisasterAssistance.gov or download the FEMA app. Follow FEMA Region 10 on Twitter and LinkedIn for the latest updates and visit FEMA.gov for more information.
