When will the plan be finished? And… will it be available to the public?

It is anticipated that this plan update process will take 12 to 18 months to complete, at which time it will be submitted to Washington State Emergency Management Division and FEMA for their review and approval. This schedule is contingent upon many factors that can impact schedule and timeline. The timeline for submittal will be continuously updated throughout the process as planning milestones are completed.  Once the first draft is completed, it will be available for public review and comment prior to the plan being finalized and submitted to FEMA.
