Flood Fight Info
Seattle District can provide assistance to the public in a variety of ways. Some
of these include:
Preparedness/Technical Assistance:
Seattle District provides technical assistance before, during, and after
flood events. This assistance can range from how to place sandbags to helping
design a permanent flood control structure.
Flood Fight Assistance:
Seattle District's mission is to provide timely, effective, flood emergency
assistance. Our assistance during flood events is intended to meet the immediate
threat to life or improved property.
Advance Measure Assistance:
Seattle District may perform Advance Measure projects prior to flooding or
flood fighting to protect against loss of life or damages to property. An
imminent threat of unusual flooding must exist to justify Advance Measures
assistance from the Corps.
Levee Rehabilitation Assistance:
Seattle District may assist local sponsors in repairing eligible levees that
are damaged or destroyed in flood events. Rehabilitation of damaged flood
control works is explicitly defined as emergency work. All aspects of work
related to rehabilitation of damaged flood control works are to be addressed
using all available methods of urgency, exigency, and expediency, consistent
with providing responsive, cost effective assistance. Repair work must be
initiated within 60 days of project approval.
