Gov. Kate Brown to declare drought emergency in Lake, Malheur counties

Perilously low snowpack levels in two southeastern Oregon counties have Gov. Kate Brown ready to declare a drought-related emergency.

The state's Drought Council has decided conditions are so dry in Lake and Malheur counties, a crisis is underway. After receiving pleas from both counties to recognize a drought, the council has sent recommendations to the governor to make it official.

"It is likely that she will sign them upon receipt," probably on Monday, Brown's spokeswoman Melissa Navas said in an email Friday.

Declarations for Harney and Klamath counties likely aren't far behind, said Cory Grogan, a spokesman for the state Office of Emergency Management.

The news comes hours after Washington Gov. Jay Inslee declared a drought in three regions of the state, including the Olympic Peninsula, the east side of the central Cascades and the Walla Walla region.
