Flood Information

Of all the natural hazards that affect Thurston County, floods are the most common and, on an annual basis, the most costly. Examples include river flooding, where a river breaches its banks, and groundwater flooding, where the water table rises so high it fills low-lying pockets of land. Thurston County enforces regulations to protect residents and property from flooding, and to preserve floodplains as a natural means of flood control.
