Heavy flooding in Western Washington has caused widespread disruption, leaving residents struggling with the aftermath. As storms continue to threaten the region, authorities are urging people to take precautions before the next wave hits. Simple steps at home can help reduce damage and keep families safe.
With floodwaters rising, officials recommend moving valuables and electrical items to upper floors or shelves.
