WILDFIRES | Wildfires do occur occasionally in Central Oregon. Refunds for cancellation due to Wildfires are granted if Black Butte Ranch is under a Level Three evacuation order only. Refunds will NOT be granted for smoke in the area as it can be coming from fires not directly adjacent to the Ranch or even from miles away. If smoke is excessive, BBRG will consider allowing you to re-book in the future in the same home when conditions are more desirable, the credit to be used before the end of the same year ofyour booking.  
  EVACUATION LEVELS | See Level Notice information below    
  • LEVEL 1 – “BE READY!” forpotential evacuation. All services are available. Smoke may be present from the area fire or another fire in the area. Residents should be aware of the danger that exists in their area, monitor emergency services websites and local media outlets for information. This is the time for preparation and precautionary movements of persons with special needs, mobile property and (under certain circumstances) pets and livestock. If conditions worsen, emergency services personnel may contact you via an emergency notification system. 
 
  • LEVEL 2 – “BE SET!” to evacuate. During a Level 2 evacuation notice you should be prepared to leave IMMEDIATELY if a Level 3 Notice is called. Your possessions need to be packed and you should be ready to vacate the Ranch. All services are available and there may be smoke in the area. This level indicates there is significant danger to your area, and residents should either voluntarily relocate to a shelter or with family and friends outside of the affected area, or if choosing to remain, to be ready to evacuate at a moment’s notice. Residents MAY have time to gather necessary items, but doing so is at their own risk. This may be the only notice you receive. Emergency services cannot guarantee that they will be able to notify you if conditions rapidly deteriorate. Area media services will be asked to broadcast periodic updates. 
 
  • LEVEL 3 - “GO!”evacuate now. Leave immediately! Danger to your area is current or imminent, and you should evacuate immediately. If you choose to ignore this advisement, you must understand that emergency services may not be available to assist you further. DO NOT delay leaving to gather any belongings or make efforts to protect your home. This will be the last notice you receive. Because we cannot offer you accommodation or services, you will be asked to vacate the premises. You will be eligible to receive a refund for any night we cannot provide you with accommodation.  
   
SECURITY DEPOSIT | DAMAGE | A security deposit is required for each reservation. A valid Visa, Master Card or AMEX is required to be on file until you depart, and it is determined that the home is in good order. Our credit card information is secured by VRP.   This security deposit payment will remain until it has been determinedthe unit you rented is in good order after your departure.
