Report Storm Related Issues

Please report damage from fallen trees and power lines to the City and Central Lincoln PUD. Keep yourself safe and exercise caution around injured trees until we can reach the site to secure the area. 

Fallen Trees

• For all emergencies, call 911. This includes downed power lines, fallen trees that are blocking streets and safety issues that need immediate attention.
• For power lines that are threatened by trees or branches, call Central Lincoln PUD at 1-877-265-3211.
• For hazardous trees or branches over roads or in parks, during regular business hours call Florence Public Works at 541-997-4106. If it is after regular business hours, please contact the Florence Police Department at 541-997-3515.
• To report trees down on County Roads, contact the Sheriff's Office at 541-682-4141.
• To report trees down on State Highways, contact ODOT at 503-378-0457.

Downed Power Lines

• To report a downed power line, call Central Lincoln PUD at 1-877-265-3211.
• Stay clear of downed power lines and downed trees in their vicinity, even if you believe that the lines are dead or have been de-energized by the power company.
• Lines can become re-energized as circuits are restored or come into contact with live lines.
• Power company assessment crews often visit sites before repair crews are dispatched.
• Don’t assume that lines have been de-energized just because a power company crew has visited the site.

Blocked Storm Drains

• Storm drains are designed to handle normal water flow, but occasionally during heavy rain, flooding will occur.
• With the debris that fall with heavy wind storms, these drains can easily become blocked.
• To report a blocked storm drain, call Florence Public Works at 541-997-4106.

If you have any questions regarding reporting issues, you can always call City Hall at 541-997-3437 during business hours or the Florence Police Department at 541-997-3515 after hours.
