Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Manzanita

Since 1964, Tillamook County has been named in 23 FEMA declarations; severe storms (11 declarations) and flooding (7 declarations) lead the list. Rockaway Beach has a page of its own with the federal declarations for its county, useful when one project crosses the line.

The most recent is Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4907), declared April 7, 2026, with the incident beginning December 15, 2025. Storm damage and long power outages can shut kitchens and warm the contents of walk-in coolers within hours. By incident type, the count is severe storms 11, flooding 7, wildfire 3, coastal storm 1 and fishing losses 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 1970s 3, 1990s 4, 2000s 7, 2010s 3 and 2020s 5. The records also list Severe Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4768, April 13, 2024), Wildfires and Straight-Line Winds (DR-4562, September 15, 2020), Pike Road Fire (FM-5368, September 10, 2020), Wildfires (EM-3542, September 10, 2020) and Severe Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4258, February 17, 2016).

Between 2016 and 2025 the Storm Events Database recorded 29 county-based event records in Tillamook County, with flood events the most common at 22. The costliest event with a reported dollar figure was a tornado in October 2016, with about $1 million in property damage. Flooding fouls kitchen equipment and drainage first, and a kitchen cannot reopen until it has been cleaned and inspected.

NIFC lists no wildfire of 1,000 acres or more starting in Tillamook County since 2016. Smoke and power shutoffs travel farther than fires do, though: the nearest large fire on record began in Lincoln County, about 57 miles away, where the Echo Mountain Complex fire burned 2,522 acres in 2020.

FEMA declarations apply to designated areas and do not say which individual buildings were affected.

Major construction near Manzanita

Since October 2021, 7 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Tillamook County as the place of work. In September 2023, the Department of Defense awarded a $55 million contract for “Tillamook South Jetty Repairs” in Tillamook County, with work running to December 2026 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $9 million Department of Defense contract, “Tillamook North Jetty,” starting October 2021 in Tillamook County (award record). The Department of the Interior committed $1.9 million to “Nestucca River Road Aop Cuvlerts” in Tillamook County, awarded June 2021 (award record). Another public record is “Bible Creek Road Culvert Project,” a $1.5 million Department of the Interior contract from April 2022 in Tillamook County (award record). Work like this puts crews on a site for months, often far from a restaurant, and the meals become a logistics question before the first shift starts. A project in Cannon Beach, about 1,500 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Renovation projects that close kitchens in Manzanita

No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Tillamook County. The nearest is in Clatsop County, about 39 miles away. USASpending.gov shows a $4.4 million Department of Homeland Security contract, “Repair HVAC Hangar at Base Astoria Warrenton, OR,” starting September 2026 in Clatsop County (award record). The Department of the Interior committed $3.4 million to “Renovate Visitor Center Building, Lewi” in Clatsop County, awarded April 2022 (award record). Renovations like this are the usual reason an institution leases a mobile kitchen, because the permanent one cannot run while the work is under way. A remodel in Bay City would start from the same closure date and the same temporary-kitchen question.
