Flooding in Mount Rainier/No Recycling on Friday

 

Residents, this was a swift and dangerous rain. I have not heard of any residents being injured and that is a blessing. Public Works got flooded, some City cars and other equipment are damaged, and the new levee was almost breeched, but it held.

I am grateful that all of you are safe! Please report any losses to your insurance companies. Also document with pictures. That will make your claims easier. If you can, find any receipts that you may have. If you owe on your car, notify your bank, credit union, or whoever is your lender ASAP.

Unless the County Executive declares our area a disaster area, and they should, (I am reaching out to them now), there may not be any help coming. The last time this happened, there was some relief.

If you have flood insurance, reach out to your carrier Immediately to be ahead of the rush that is sure to come.

Check on your neighbors. They may need help. I am not sure of the status of the CERT Team, but I have asked the Interim City Manager, Latasha Gatling to activate the CERT Team to help where needed.

NOTE: In light of our current disaster, the condition of Public Works, and our equipment, there will be no recycling tomorrow.
