Abstract Long Description

The Army Corps of Engineers and the King County Flood Control District has warned residents, businesses, and farms below the Howard Hanson Dam to prepare now for a higher risk of flooding. Areas that could be flooded include parts of Auburn, Kent, Renton, South Seattle and Tukwila.

The Howard Hanson Dam Planning Group has devised an Operation Action Plan (OAP) based on Incident Command System (ICS) organization. The purpose is to coordinate planning for a potential flood.

This document summarizes the key actions Ecology will take to prepare for and respond to Green River flooding as part of the OAP.
