🚨 COSi-MUNITY ALERT: Prepare for a Wet & Windy Weekend! 🚨
The City of Cosmopolis wants to give residents a heads-up about the forecasted weather for Grays Harbor County this weekend (Saturday, Oct 25th – Sunday, Oct 26th). We are expecting heavy rain, showers, and gusty winds.
How You Can Help Our Public Works Team (and Yourself!):
Our crews work hard to manage the city’s drainage system, but a little help from residents goes a long way in preventing localized flooding. Please take a few minutes today to complete these quick tasks:
Clear the Drains: Safely clear the storm drains near your property of leaves, sticks, and debris. A clear drain is an open path for heavy rainwater!
Clear Your Gutters: Ensure your home's gutters and downspouts are clear to direct water flow away from your foundation.
Secure Loose Items: Wind gusts are expected. Please secure or put away anything outdoors that could blow into the street, like trash cans, holiday decorations, or patio furniture. This prevents road hazards and clogged drains.
Drive Safely: Be ready for ponding water on roads. Slow down, use your headlights, and never drive through deep water.
Your preparation efforts make a huge difference in keeping our community safe and preventing flooding. Thank you for being a great partner to your City of Cosmopolis Public Works Department!
Stay warm and dry this weekend!
