Washington Flood Resources: Support for Farmers
Our state has been pummeled by days of rain this week, leading to historic flooding and dangerous conditions across much of western Washington. From the state of emergency that was declared yesterday afternoon, to mandatory evacuations and flood watches in several counties, many Washingtonians are feeling the direct impacts of these dangerous conditions.
We know that many farmers from the Cascades to the Coast are dealing with profound and unique challenges that severe flooding brings to those in our ag communities. While many have created flood and emergency plans, we know that the damages caused by these extreme conditions can last for days or months after the waters have receded:
- Crop damage
- Soil erosion
- Contamination & disease risk
- Equipment and infrastructure loss/damage
- Threats to the safety and health of livestock
- Economic loss
We at Tilth Alliance stand with Washington farmers, and are here to help connect you to resources, assistance, and information that might be useful during this crisis. Please explore the links below or reach out to us directly.
