Preparedness
The next time disaster strikes, you may not have much time to act. Prepare now for a sudden emergency.
Hazard Mitigation
We can’t prevent the disaster from occurring, but we can prevent or limit damage. See what you can do to protect your family, business and property.
Hazard Mitigation
Storm Ready
Walla Walla County is the first county in the Pendleton Weather Service coverage area within the State of Washington to receive this designation. Significant effort goes into obtaining the designation. Eligibility requirements include establishment of a 24-hour warning point and emergency operations center, having more than one method of receiving severe weather information and alerting the public, creating a system that monitors local weather conditions and developing a formal hazardous weather plan.
Weather Radio
Get weather reports, forecasts and weather warnings through NOAA weather radio. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration broadcasts weather information on several frequencies in our area. The signals may be received by a weather radio, which can be purchased at most electronics stores for $30-60. When severe weather approaches, the radio will sound an alarm and activate a audio message about the weather. See the NOAA Weather Radio web site.
