I'm from Washington, but the Sheriff's office is always in charge of SAR operations. I looked up the county SAR team but their page is way out of date:
http://www.co.linn.or.us/Sheriff/SAR/LCSOsar.BaseCamp.htm
I would contact the person below as he is the Linn County Search and Rescue Coordinator. He could get you the names of the agencies who responded to the accident.
LINN
Lieutenant Will McAnulty
Linn County Sheriff's Office
P. O. Box 100
Albany, OR 97321
Office: 541 917 6683

Sorry for thread drift but I was wondering...
Was Katie a member of the OSU climbing club?
NOLSe, I know that you have meet her before, at least at pint night at bombs away. She was also a TA in Gen Chem at OSU. Several people there have asked me about her. Katie was a remarkable woman and I was shocked to learn about this accident.

Having been on the mountain the day of the accident (our group left "the crawl" area mere minutes before Katie's fall), I've been sobered by how unfortunate all of this has been. It's really put things into perspective: climbing can be dangerous no matter your skill level and objective hazards do exist. We all understand those risks, accept them, and, therefore, reach such lofty places that inspire us. Our bonds with each other and the environment are strengthened by what we learn on the trail and in the mountains.
I did not know Katie, but I gather that she had a deep respect for the mountains and was a good friend. It sounds like she was an amazing person. Bless her soul.
I saw Katie and her group at the alcove before the final pitch to the summit. I distinctly remember how everyone up there seemed to be having a great time- glorious weather, joking, and laughter. Indeed, it was a beautiful day.

Thanks for all the fun times Katie, we miss you.
There are some inaccuracies in the media. For an essentially definitive report of what happened, you can go to:

That second photo, taken from where the fall happened sent a chill through me...
I've traipsed across the top of stuff with a view like that and been thinking "Man, I wouldn't want to slip and fall here."
