Interagency Burned Area Emergency Response (iBAER) Team Report for 2015 Fires

Mon, 11/23/2015 - 12:41

In the wake of another season of very large wildfires in Okanogan County, Okanogan Conservation District re-established the Interagency Burned Area Emergency Response (iBAER) Team. In 2014, this interagency risk assessment team was the first of its kind to be tasked with assessing the erosion threat on state and private lands impacted by the Carlton Complex Fire. This year, the team evaluated threats to life and property on state and private lands burned in the Okanogan Complex, Tunk Block, and North Star fires.

If you, a friend, or family member have experienced a loss of home or other property in the Okanogan County fires, please connect with a relief worker. Any loss needs to be reported in order to get long-term recovery assistance.

FLASH FLOOD PREPARATION

Wed, 08/26/2015 - 13:21
Rain is expected this weekend, August 28-29. The loss of vegetation and potentially heavily burned soil has greatly increased the risk of flooding and debris flows in and around the burn scars from Okanogan Complex, North Star, and the 2014 Carlton Complex. Take action now to protect your life and property.
