Flood Inundation Maps to Enhance Flood Forecasts for the Chehalis River
People living along the Chehalis River have a new tool from the
National Weather Service to help them understand their risk during floods. A
large section of the river is now depicted on flood maps that show people where
the water will flow and what it will look like in their community when the
river crests beyond its banks. The new flood inundation maps will also help
local officials reduce flood impacts to communities by giving them more
advanced information for planning.
