EP1.10Develop emergency response plans for all flood-prone creeks (i.e., Mission Creek, Mill Creek, Brandt’s Creek, Bellevue Creek).

Emergency response plans for areas susceptible to creek flooding consist of coordinated actions by government and community members. These measures could include flood forecasting, issuing evacuation orders, conducting public awareness campaigns, implementing protocols for clearing debris, and constructing infrastructure such as levees and floodwalls. A plan could also provide information for individuals, such as recommended steps for assembling an emergency supply kit, creating a family emergency plan with an assigned safe location, and protecting property by relocating valuables to higher areas and taking precautions against basement flooding.
