Strong Autumn Storm Predicted for October 23rd and 24th

10/22/2010

 
South Bend, Washington – The National Weather Service, Portland Office, has predicted strong autumn storms for the weekend of October 23 – 24, 2010. Two systems are expected to pass over Pacific County over the next 48 – 72 hours with the strongest storm arriving Saturday night and continuing through early Sunday. Hazards expected include large seas, possible minor coastal flooding, heavy rain, with high wind accompanying the second storm. 

Rainfall is expected to total 3 – 5” over the course of the two systems with the heaviest rainfall on Saturday evening. Minor coastal flooding is also expected in areas along Raymond and Willapa Bay as some of the highest astronomical tides of the year will occur during the same time period. A coastal flood watch is expected for the time of high tide. 

The National Weather Service is expected to issue a high wind warning for the coast for Saturday night through Sunday morning, with gusts 50 – 60 mph inland, and 70 – 75 mph along the beaches and headlands, with lower speed gusty winds continuing through Sunday. In conjunction, predictions include very large seas, peaking Sunday evening, and snow at the pass levels in the amount of 8 – 18” at 5,000 feet. 

Precautionary/Preparedness Actions:

A high wind warning means a hazardous high wind event is expected or occurring. Sustained wind speeds of at least 40 mph or gusts of 58 mph or more can lead to property damage.

Sheriff John Didion Issues Commendation

10/14/2010

 
South Bend, Washington – At the Pacific County Emergency Management Agency meeting held October 12, 2010 in South Bend, Sheriff John Didion presented Jackie Sheldon a Commendation for volunteer service in recognition of her efforts in organizing the Eye of the Storm Pacific County Community Disaster Preparedness Fair, held September 25, 2010 at the Ocean Park Elementary School and in recognition of her work in response to the December 2007 windstorm. 

The Commendation read “Jackie Sheldon is hereby recognized for outstanding service and dedication to her community as an advocate for preparedness. In the advent of any disaster situation many lives will be saved as a result of her consistent and hard working efforts.”

In July 2010 the Pacific County Emergency Management Agency staff and Sheriff Didion nominated Jackie Sheldon for the Federal Emergency Management Agency Citizen Corp Individual Achievement Award. The Individual Achievement Award nomination and the Pacific County Sheriff’s Office Commendation illustrate how citizens can take action and do their part to be prepared. The public is a valuable resource in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from disasters. Every day citizens like Jackie take part in community emergency planning and problem solving, model programs for use by other individuals, and show how individuals can take action to make a difference in their community.

The Pacific County Emergency Management Agency is grateful for citizens like Jackie, who are involved and willing to demonstrate and forward a personal emergency preparedness message and program throughout the year.
