Oregon Gov. Kate Brown has declared a state of emergency in Klamath County as southern Oregon remains in an ongoing drought that shows no sign of letting up.
This week’s declaration directs state agencies, including the Oregon Department of Agriculture, Oregon Water Resources Department and the Water Resources Commission, to provide assistance to water users in the region and to seek federal resources to help residents and wildlife, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported.
Snowpack in the Klamath Basin sat at 60% of normal as of Monday, which prompted the declaration.
“It is already clear from snowpack and streamflow numbers: this will be another difficult year,” Brown said on Twitter. “I am committed to dedicating state resources to help.”
Central and southern Oregon are entering a third consecutive year of drought, according to Larry O’Neill, a climatologist at Oregon State University.
Klamath County has been particularly hard hit. Some residents have seen wells run dry as groundwater recedes. Contentious fights have also occurred over how to allocate the water in Upper Klamath Lake, which is needed by farmers, ranchers and two species of endangered fish that are cultural mainstays of Indigenous people in the region.
The county also was home to one of the largest wildfires in Oregon history last year. Climate scientists have long said that drought and heightened wildfire risk will become more frequent and more severe as climate change continues to push global temperatures up.
Setting the stage for a Global Warming Emergency Executive Order.
So is she banning the fires in Portland? Nah. That would be racis’ or something to deny ‘$blm/pantyfuh heat on them cold damp nights.
How do people live in that crap hole?
Oregon is one of the lib state license plates I see few of in my state surprisingly enough
Governor, have you even given a thought about asking your state to repent and turn to God for help. He is, as you may not know, in charge of everything!
2 Chronicles 7:14: If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
We don’t see many Florida licenses in Oregon either...it’s a LLLOOOONNNGGG drive between them. Why do we live in this “craphole”? Cause we are old, cause we fight, lots of reasons.
Or...”HOW do we live in this craphole? Well...we are in midst of huge house remodel...ALL of our contractors are Conservative. ..we are buying mostly made in USA products (actually can’t think of what might not be...maybe some plumbing). What happened to the country at election
in 2020 (fraud) has been happening in Oregon for many years...
I have family that live in Hillsboro, it looks like they have normal people living there.
Mostly normal people in Oregon...the fraud gets us the freaks...like our so called Queen (guv)
If it weren’t for corrupt Portland news Kate Brown would not be governor today.
Portland, most atheist city in the US, 3/4 democrat.
They didn’t just vote for third world status, they went out and marched for it.
Then they masked their toddlers and injected them with toxins.
It’s often called “Hillsburrito.”
From all the out of state plates I see just where I am makes me think you are some what of a rarity....almost all I see are from blue states.

OR is a craphole because the elections have been stolen for more than 20 years.
It’s that simple.
Most libs states to seem to be.
Absolutely correct. Stolen elections is the only way they win.
