Flood Damage Reporting

Sheriff Mike Harum is requesting assistance from Chelan County residents in reporting damage from the recent flooding.  Any person or business who sustained damage which may have resulted from the flooding this week, even if the damage is covered by insurance, should report the problem immediately to Chelan County Emergency Management at (509) 667-6863, or online at www.chelandem.org. 

Sheriff Harum advises Chelan County must meet a minimum threshold of damage before residents are eligible to receive assistance.  Once enough damage has been documented to meet this threshold, the federal assistance process can begin.  Grants may also become available for mitigation activities to attempt to limit future damage in flood prone areas.

Once federal programs become available, information about the programs will be available to the community.  Information may be obtained on the Chelan County Emergency Management website at www.chelandem.org, or by phone at (509) 667-6863.
