Severe Weather Preparedness

Regardless of the predictions, and the uncertainty of what the weather will bring, winters in the Chehalis area usually get some level of flooding, high winds, and at least a couple of days of snowpacked and icy streets each and every year. 

Some years are worse than others, but the time to prepare for these weather events is now, well before they occur.  There is a lot of information available to you on the web, and we've tried to put some of the more relevant links right here on our site to make finding them more convenient.  If you have any questions about the information you read, please don't hesitate to call the Chehalis Police Department, or the Chehalis Fire Department for more information.
