Bomb Cyclone State Individual Assistance
On Jan. 7, Gov. Jay Inslee signed Proclamation 25-01 declaring a state of emergency following November’s bomb cyclone storm, which caused catastrophic power outages and extensive damage to hundreds of homes. The proclamation unlocks $1 million in state funding, provided to the state’s Emergency Management Division from the Department of Commerce, to support ongoing recovery efforts.
Some aspects of the state’s Individual Assistance program are now available to residents of King, Snohomish and Whatcom counties who suffered damage from the storm.
