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.
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.
