Mt. Hood National Forest Storm Damage

Friday, January 15, 2021
by Liz Warren

Here's the latest information for Mt. Hood National Forest Cabin owners concerning our recent wind and rain storm:

Summer Recreation Residences

January 12- 13 Storm Damage Alert

Due to the wind and rainstorm, there are many downed trees and downed power lines in the recreation residence tract.  PGE and forest employees are working on clearing roads, prioritizing those who are trapped behind storm debris. This work will take several days.  In the meantime: 

  • Please postpone a visit to cabins.  There are many safety hazards in the area, including downed power lines.
  • First responders and work crews are out working and making progress- it is very important to not impede their work or block roads. 
  • Road 12 (Still Creek Rd.) is blocked and requires heavy equipment to remove a giant downed tree.
  • The Zigzag Ranger District and many of its employees are without internet, phones, and/or power.  
  • As staff gets safe road access they will assess recreation residences for damage and notify owners of discovered damage.

New COVID-19 Eviction Law

Thursday, January 7, 2021
by Liz Warren

This information is straight from the Oregon Realtor Association Website:

 

HB 4401: Oregon’s New COVID-19 Eviction Law Summary and FAQs

(January 1, 2021)

House Bill 4401, which was passed December 20, 2020, extends the eviction moratorium through June 2021 and creates a $150 million compensation fund for rental property owners, as well as another $50 million for a tenant fund to be used for rent. The owner compensation fund will be available to any rental property owner who is owed back rent, though it will require forgiving 20% of the rental debt.

The bill will require tenants to sign a declaration that they have been impacted by COVID-19 in order to delay rental payments. If they do not sign, they may be evicted with 10 days’ notice.

Mt. Hood National Forest Storm Clean up Scheduled for November 6, 7, and 8

Tuesday, November 3, 2020
by Liz Warren

MHFHA SPONSORED STORM DEBRIS CLEAN UP scheduled for November 6-7-8

 

The Association, with the help of generous cabin owners who have donated to the September Storm Clean up Fund, will hire the equipment necessary to aid cabin owners in disposing of debris from the storm.

 

We will be renting an industrial wood chipper along with hiring an experienced person to run it. We will be renting trailers to pick up and haul debris to a location where the wood chipper will be stationed.

 

Here's what we need you to do should you like to participate:

 

1) Create piles of your storm debris (branches no more than 6" in diameter) from your cabin lot and find a place that is not in or on your cabin road but right next to the road. We will NOT be driving in driveways to pick up debris piles. You can begin creating those piles now.

 

2) Volunteer! We need people with trucks that can pull the rented trailers. We need volunteers to load the piles into the trailers. We need volunteers for a few hours or all day for those 3 days. We will need volunteers to unload the debris at the wood chipping site.

 

3) All cabin roads and all cabins will be included in this project.

 

No material other than natural plant/tree storm debris

 

If you can volunteer - please sign up and tell us your availability (provide a truck with a hitch, man/woman power, what days and hours etc) Please respond to this email and give us your details.

 

We will provide snacks, water and lunch for all workers.

 

If you have yet to donate to the clean up fund - please do so now. September Storm Clean Up Fund

 

To those who have signed up to volunteer - THANK YOU! We will be emailing assignments by Nov 2, 2020. If you would like to volunteer, please email us at [email protected]
