With the rainy season officially here, the Office of Chehalis Basin is continuing its webinar series and shifting the focus to sharing information about flood warning systems, risks posed by flooding and resources available to basin residents.
“Whether residents have experienced many floods over the years or are new to the area, it’s important to understand flooding risk, as well as available resources to help protect themselves and their property,” stated a news release from the Office of Chehalis Basin.
The first webinar will be on Nov. 2 starting at 6 p.m. and will focus on flood warning systems. It will include teaching participants how to get access to websites with forecasts, inundation maps, real-time river level readings and alarms.
