At the governor’s request, the ODHS Office of Resilience and Emergency Management (OREM) has taken an active role to strengthen Oregon’s food support network during the SNAP delay. Working with partners across the state, OREM is tracking food supplies, coordinating distribution and prioritizing families most at risk of running out of food. Local offices are asked to complete a daily data form and refer urgent cases directly to OREM for same-day follow-up. Staff are also asked to review guidance on helping the people we support turn away scams during this period.
