PENDLETON, Ore. — The Federal Emergency Management Agency says Oregon will receive federal help for flooding and storms that happened in February in the northeastern section of the state.

Federal disaster assistance will supplement state, tribal and local recovery efforts in the areas affected by severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds and flooding, FEMA announced over the weekend. President Donald Trump’s action approving a flood disaster declaration makes the federal funding available to affected people in Umatilla County and the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation.
