Flooding Concerns Minimal in Yakima
Volunteer teams with the Yakima Office of Emergency Management are working every night this week watching area waters for any signs of flooding. Horace Ward Senior Emergency Planner says the 4 teams started work over the weekend as temperatures were on the rise with lots of melting snow. However Ward says the concern about flooding throughout the county this week is minimal. In fact he says many of the creek beds around the valley are still muddy or dry and of no concern. Much of the snow around the area has melted but there s still a potential for a rise in water the reason the teams are monitoring the streams and creeks this week especially in areas like Cottonwood and Wide Hollow areas where the valley traditionally sees minor flooding.
