Emergency Preparedness
Communities throughout the Pacific Northwest are subject to many potential natural and man-made disasters. While we hope that such occurrences never happen, it has been shown time and time again that being prepared for disasters is wise and prudent.
Here we have informational materials available from the Washington Military Department/Emergency Management Division in PDF format available for downloading.
For further information about natural or man-made disasters or disaster preparedness planning, please contact Lewis County Emergency Management.
