Published:01/06/2009 Safety
RECORD FLOODING IS BEING PREDICTED! The forecast for our rivers is not looking good projected crest levels are revising upward and we are now looking at record level plus on the Snohomish River. The forecast for our rivers is not looking good projected crest levels are revising upward and we are now looking at record level plus on the Snohomish River. In addition to the river flooding we are at extreme risk for rain induced landslides. Reports from across the County indicate that many of our streams and creeks are already running high and it is raining heavily in many areas. Areas of the County that were cut off due to high water in the November 2006 or November 2008 floods will again take water from this event. Please provide the widest dissemination of the challenges we are going to face so that our residents, schools, farmers, and business owners can make informed decisions and not be caught off guard by rapidly rising water. Please note that many of the rivers will rise into flood stage / crest in the hours of darkness this will hamper residents and responders efforts and awareness. We anticipate full activation of the EOC and Call Center tomorrow morning additional information to follow this afternoon. River estimates:
