Lane County Emergency Management and County officials are working to assess storm damages incurred throughout Lane County. If your home has sustained damage from flood water, high wind, landslide, debris, or any other storm-related events since January 17, we encourage you to take a moment to report your damages.

EUGENE, Ore. - Was last week's storm a disaster?

Lane County officials are still compiling the damage assessment and expect to have an answer by Friday, said Linda Cooke with emergency management.

For the county to declare a disaster, 25 or more homes must be damaged by a weather event and/or the county must suffer $1.2 million in public infrastructure damage.

Cooke expects damage from last week's flooding will qualify for a disaster declaration. She encouraged residents to document damage before they make repairs.

Even as people clean up from last week's storm, another round of rain brings the threat of flooding back to the region.

"We are very concerned about landslides," Cooke said. "Anyone who lives in a slide-prone area or a base of a hill should evaulate their property and make sure they are keeping themselves out of harm's way. That is a huge concerns for us right now."

LINCOLN CITY, Ore. – One year ago Monday, law enforcement officers from all over Oregon descended on Waldport and Lincoln City to search for the man who shot a local police officer at close range during a traffic stop.

A year later, the suspect remains at large, but the injured officer has returned to duty after a long recovery.

The incident began when Officer Steven Dodds with the Lincoln City Police Department pulled over a vehicle for speeding about 40 miles north of Waldport. As Officer Dodds approached the driver, he was hit by multiple gunshots.

The suspect, identified as David Anthony Durham, 44, was caught on video driving an SUV at high speed with a trio of police vehicles in hot pursuit down Highway 101. He was not found after abandoning his vehicle and dog near Waldport.
