Report December 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 [ [link removed] ]_. 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 - TODAY*
*Evergreen State Fair Park*
*Longhouse Building*
*14405 179th Ave. SE, Monroe*
*11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 21, 2025*
*Startup Event Center*
*14315 366th Ave. SE, Startup*
Assistance with the survey also can be accessed during business hours by contacting Emergency Management directly at:
[email protected] or 425-388-5060. Phone support will be unavailable Christmas Day.

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: *[link removed] [ [link removed] ]*
