What is a state declaration?

0

The Governor has the authority to declare a drought emergency, either statewide or in affected counties, which allows OWRD to exercise emergency authorities like ordering conservation and curtailment activity from major water users. A state declaration is usually first requested by a county. When a request from a county is submitted, it is first reviewed by the Oregon Drought Council and then a recommendation is forwarded to the Governor’s office.
