Report flood damage now

An online survey is now available to help Snohomish County residents report damage from the historic flooding that occurred on local river systems during a series of weather events starting Dec. 9, 2025.

The survey can be accessed at https://bit.ly/SnoCo-Damage-Report. It will remain open through Dec. 31, 2025.

The information may help make the case for disaster recovery resources, and it needs to be provided quickly, said Lucia Schmit, the County’s director of Emergency Management.

“Over the past week we have seen amazing support from first responders and neighbors within our community,” Schmit said. “Now we are trying to bring in support from outside to help with recovery. We don’t know if we will be successful with our request for Federal funds, but every survey with reported damage helps bring us closer.”

People can find help with the damage survey at these times and locations:

3 p.m. to 8 p.m., Friday, Dec. 19, 2025

Evergreen State Fair Park

Longhouse Building

14405 179th Ave. SE, Monroe

Be careful around floodwater

The Snohomish County Health Department says it is important to protect your health when cleaning up after the floods.

Floodwater can contain sewage, chemicals, and mold that pose serious risks.

• Avoid contact with floodwater.
• Use bottled or boiled water until supplies are cleared.
• Discard food, medicine, or cosmetics exposed to flooding.

Wet weather elevates slide risk

A series of soggy storms has elevated landslide risk across Snohomish County. Saturated soil is less stable. If you encounter a landslide, please stay away from the area and call 9-1-1. There may be danger of additional slides.

The Snohomish County Hazard Viewer makes it easy to learn more about landslide risk here: https://snoco.org/hazards

Tilted trees, cracks in the ground, sunken or broken road beds, sagging utility lines, and sticky doors and windows are all warnings of a potential landslide.
