Flood Preparedness Securing a permanent fix for the Howard Hanson Dam and the corresponding levee systems is the top priority for addressing potential flooding in the Ninth District. To that end I appreciate the bipartisan effort of the Washington State delegation in securing the Federal support the Army Corps of Engineers needs to restore the safety of the dam and levee systems to their full potential. In order to ensure the well-being of the people and the region while the permanent fix is completed, it is imperative that the Interim Risk Reduction Measures continue to move forward as quickly as possible. I am working closely to ensure that happens with both the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Federal Emergency Management Agency at both the federal and local levels.
