Abstract | The idea of being able to forecast the intensity of floods in the Pacific Northwest has been a dream for many years. Just thnk of the potential. Cities could be evacuated, property could be protected, livestock removed, roads blocke, sandbags placed, and most importantly -- lives saved.As like pioneers crossing the Cascade Mountains in the 1800's, Whatcom County has revolutionized the concept of early flooe warning for the Pacific Northwest. A concept that has been used in other locations such as California and British Columbia has been built unon and expanded into a complete system. |
