Mayor Miller has proclaimed November as Flood Awareness Month in North Bend.
Over the years, North Bend has had numerous flood events of varying magnitudes. The North Bend Public Works Department oversees a nationally recognized floodplain management program that helps reduce damages and the cost of flood insurance policies by 25 percent, backed by the National Flood Insurance Program for local citizens. In addition, King County provides a state-of-the-art flood warning and emergency response system providing critical flood and emergency information each time the city experiences major flooding.

Mayor Miller invites all residents, especially those living in flood-prone areas, to join her in learning preventative steps and preparedness techniques that can preserve your home and the lives of those you love.
