Due to heavy rains predicted on Monday, Dec. 15, the Chelan County Sheriff's Office has issued an evacuation order for the Stehekin Valley. Slide areas may slide again, and creeks and drainages are expected to rise. It is recommended for those who have access to Purple Point take the 1:30 p.m. ferry Saturday or Sunday.


 

Evacuation Protocols

Ready. Set. Go! It's wildfire season in Chelan County. Do you know the evacuation levels, and what you should be doing at each level? Sgt. Jason Reinfeld of the Chelan County Sheriff's Office and Emergency Management talks about what you can expect if you are in an evacuation area this wildfire season. He also talks about tools you can use to stay updated on evacuations. Watch the Youtube video here.

 

Be Prepared!

With its topography and location, Chelan County can be subjected to many types of disasters, from wildfires and mudslides to flash floods and snowstorms. While we hope such occurrences never happen, we know that being prepared for a disaster may save lives when minutes count.

Take the time to make an evacuation plan, build a preparedness kit that suits your family and pets, and learn what sources to go to monitor an evolving situation. Here are some tools to help you get started:
