Tillamook County is a member of Oregonians for Floodplain Protection, who filed a lawsuit in the D.C. District Court challenging the Oregon Biological Opinion and Pre-Implementation Compliance Measures (PICMs) that FEMA has ordered Oregon cities and counties to implement as a condition of continued participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) in January 2025. The Oregonians for Floodplain Protection website: https://floodplainprotection.org/ contains background information on the NFIP as well as a summary of FEMA’s proposal and impacts. Oregonians for Floodplain Protection will continue to update their website and provide information to the public on various matters related to the Oregon Biological Opinion.
