Flood Awareness Week is October 2-5 in Skagit County
SKAGIT COUNTY - The Skagit County Commissioners signed a resolution on September
11, 2012, proclaiming October 2-5, 2012, as Flood Awareness Week in Skagit County.
The threat of extreme flooding generally occurs in the Skagit Valley between
the months of October and March.
As part of the preparation for a flood threat, Skagit County Public Works and
the United States Army Corps of Engineers hold Flood Awareness Week to assess
and implement ongoing flood preparedness. Skagit County Public Works has scheduled
several training sessions for staff members so that the public will be protected
in the event of a flood.
