VANCOUVER – As heavy rains and gusty winds continue, county roads and parks are beginning to see impacts. Updates are listed under “Closures and Impacts”. Latest update: 10:55 a.m., Wednesday, Dec. 10
Public Works response
Members of the public who encounter flooding, standing water, downed trees, or other issues on county roads are encouraged to report it by calling (564) 397-2446 or using the online form at clark.wa.gov/public-works. As Public Works receives these reports, staff respond to the location of the issue and assess the situation. Where our crews are able to solve the issue, for example, by removing leaves from a clogged storm drain or moving a fallen tree off the roadway, they are doing so as quickly as possible. In many cases, such as where rising rivers and creeks are flooding roads and bridges, the only recourse is to close the road and wait for creek, stream or river levels to decrease.
