 People and property in the Green River valley face increased flood risk
this winter.
You can help! Do you live outside the flood area? Do you have extra land? You could help farmers save their large animals and equipment.
King County is developing a list of landowners outside the Green River Valley who might be able to help valley farmers with:
extra space to store heavy equipment such as tractors, tillers, discs, plows, mowers, etc.; and
available shelters for livestock and farm animals.

King County has published guidelines to help people prepare for flooding. The King Conservation District
has published an informative brochure that describes things you can do now to reduce damage if flooding occurs. Download the King CD brochure in PDF format:  King CD Fall Newsletter 2009 1.58 Mb
