KCRHA is Activating Tier 2 Severe Weather Protocols through Saturday, December 13.

Due to persistent rain, strong winds, and widespread flooding in the forecast<https://9pe8sjgbb.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001HxCy7mclHlw7WvLTb6m9QWTHlGzSTly9eAR31uMfBXIV6MZetmVtYR5dGZoiX5Y6J1akjTT0zmrfxO8F1IpYOu8IGOuqoORZg6KxrnB6MPpYWkyjOU2bGcUG9m9W3hqgblxMFh0sTM5OzUfoo93_MVUYQviD3HTXkMIr2NBSOIg=&c=Li8Rb2lDD_BtRBKsjOJzlzGrac7eeRp-SAlPW3Ab2orrupF0aYLLYw==&ch=kcXioY5YZ-jDDPsr-w6YqLZWkJueoBniEzM3RVO3PYNLTQR3OeAWAA==&_utm_campaign=121025_SWR-Atomospheric-River_General-Public&_utm_medium=email&_utm_source=ctct> and currently happening throughout King County, KCRHA is activating Tier 2 severe weather protocols effective immediately, through Saturday, December 13, winding down the morning of Sunday, December 14.


While the current weather and forecast do not meet our normal activation thresholds, we are activating under the “unusual weather events” clause of our Severe Weather Emergency Response Policy<https://9pe8sjgbb.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001HxCy7mclHlw7WvLTb6m9QWTHlGzSTly9eAR31uMfBXIV6MZetmVtYWwcb94_znLbZ-_T738B-r4UyQ1snkKC29K1Sj6z_-vIwVD6BAP5xeN_X92AhojXVv7F3o--ymPj12RhE971EUd1l5fwFRajNRDfRg2VLRmsxTBfcnBlOsxPCvVbtqwjhqfUlmF_uWLxOwWXl1hYT8GIHACk31EMhQSE0065LRIQ7-5A6ki6lSoS6aAkLK2Yo0BeCywpanyNMrfSuZ5bfktODlvFRevRFg==&c=Li8Rb2lDD_BtRBKsjOJzlzGrac7eeRp-SAlPW3Ab2orrupF0aYLLYw==&ch=kcXioY5YZ-jDDPsr-w6YqLZWkJueoBniEzM3RVO3PYNLTQR3OeAWAA==&_utm_campaign=121025_SWR-Atomospheric-River_General-Public&_utm_medium=email&_utm_source=ctct>.


Please note: Due to the last minute nature of this activation, we are still working on updating our website and producing regional shelter info flyers. We anticipate getting everything posted before close of business today. Please check back<https://9pe8sjgbb.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001HxCy7mclHlw7WvLTb6m9QWTHlGzSTly9eAR31uMfBXIV6MZetmVtYZizjl1WdjB_LovlF7U1N69Skj3GaWz3rfqO_2B7R4n5r0P9wiFtLiv-xzbuSgpfHNiTZhqNBwe2QJn7NLyr7oEDMaQ3fOskkYN3-Uadmz3zrrD8TFCZ0LD_FHzEEsjP5Q==&c=Li8Rb2lDD_BtRBKsjOJzlzGrac7eeRp-SAlPW3Ab2orrupF0aYLLYw==&ch=kcXioY5YZ-jDDPsr-w6YqLZWkJueoBniEzM3RVO3PYNLTQR3OeAWAA==&_utm_campaign=121025_SWR-Atomospheric-River_General-Public&_utm_medium=email&_utm_source=ctct> throughout the day for updated information.

When we activate at Tier 2, the KCRHA engages in the following Tier 1 and Tier 2 activities:

  *   Tier 1: Our Programs staff communicates with service providers through email and meetings
  *   Tier 1: We prioritize response geographically, based on forecasted weather conditions
  *   Tier 1: In Seattle, we check in with the Unified Care Team about increased outreach by providers
  *   Tier 1: In North King County, we check in with contracted providers for increased outreach
  *   Tier 1: In other areas, we contact Severe Weather Responders and Outreach to encourage them to prepare for a higher level of activation, should the forecast deteriorate
  *   Tier 2: We open KCRHA-funded temporary emergency shelters (also known as severe weather shelters), contracted to engage at Tier 2; seek expansions to existing emergency shelter programs including 24/7 shelters and night-by-night shelters
  *   Tier 2: We support food distribution to temporary shelter sites
  *   Tier 2: Update communications materials including but not limited to KCRHA’s Severe Weather webpage, and flyers, to include up-to-date information
