'No absolute certainty' Martin Family car found in Cascade Locks
Heavy rain brought on by an atmospheric river flooded towns, washed out roads and caused numerous slides in southwest Oregon between March 15 and 16.
'If your home was damaged, please complete the Public Individual Assistance Damage Assessment Survey,' the Oregon Department of Emergency Management wrote on social media. 'Your report helps Douglas County Emergency Management understand the impact on our community and support a request for state and federal disaster aid.'

On March 19, Gov. Tina Kotek declared a state of emergency in response to the flooding. Douglas County assessors are actively working to calculate the damages suffered during the March floods.

Thousands of homes threatened as destructive Rowena Fire continues burning
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The Rowena Fire continued scorching the area between Mosier and Hood River Thursday night, destroying homes and threatening thousands more. The fire, which started Wednesday, has continued to grow, reaching 3,500 acres as of Thursday night and still remains uncontained. According to the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center, the Rowena Fire has destroyed at least 20 homes already and is threatening over 2,000 more. 10 arrested outside Portland ICE building as protests continue As the flames continue to rage on, KOIN 6 spoke with residents who were forced to leave their homes. 'We got maybe a quarter of a mile away from the house or so and some of the flames were coming up the embankment, and so we had to drive through it, and so we couldn't see anything in front of us, and we could feel the heat through the car,' said Tailer Rundell, who was forced to flee from his home. Another resident, Floyd Barber, who has lived in the Rowena area for 35 years, shared the devastation that the fire has left behind. 'It burnt that down, then it started burning right there, and then me and my son managed to get that put out, and then right there where the black spots are, we got water squirted up in there, and that stopped. Otherwise, I would've lost this house,' said Barber. 'We had water, but when the power went off, that's when things went all to hell.' All evacuations for the area remain in place and the Red Cross has a shelter set up at The Dalles Middle School. Stay with KOIN 6 as we keep you up to date on this story.
