VIDEO: Flood Patrol’s quick response helped a community evacuate flooding on the White River
Crossposted from DNRP Field Notes
It was just after midnight Tuesday when Josh Kubo and Craig Garric – two members of King County’s Flood Patrol – were inspecting a flood barrier along the White River when water seeping through suddenly became a breach.
As soon as the barrier collapsed, the crew members quickly adapted from monitoring to rescue. They reported the breach to the King County Flood Warning Center and then ran door to door in the middle of the night, guiding neighbors to an evacuation route.
A King County Sheriff’s Office deputy says their swift response likely saved lives.
