The hotline will be open Monday, from noon to 4:30 p.m.; and Tuesday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.The county will report estimated losses to the state to seek an emergency declaration for individual assistance from the Federal Emergency Managment Agency. Some uninsured losses might be compensated by FEMA.
Anyone suffering damage should document it with photographs and a written description.
For more information, call Lynne Miller at 206-296-3830.
