Flood damage could total more the $1 million in Whatcom County
Gov. Jay Inslee issued an emergency proclamation Wednesday for Whatcom County and 18 others in Washington state that we affected by the recent snowstorm, flooding and landslides.
Damages in Whatcom County are still being assessed, but totals could exceed $1 million, according to John Gargett, deputy director of the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office Division of Emergency Management.
Wednesday’s proclamation lets state agencies use state resources “to do everything reasonably possible to assist affected communities,” Inslee wrote in the proclamation, which was sent to news organizations.
It also allows the state to apply for federal Department of Transportation funds to help permanently repair roadways.
