What happens when 180 coastal experts gather for the annual meeting of the state Coastal Hazard Resilience Network? A flood of ideas! 🌊 This year, a record-breaking number of people attended the annual conference—signifying Washington’s growing investment in coastal climate resilience. 👏

The recent wildfires have destroyed hundreds of homes and displaced thousands of Washingtonians. In this time of crisis, we must prioritize protecting people from further displacement and uncertainty.

I've directed state agencies to submit reports within 30 days identifying regulations and permitting requirements that can be waived or suspended to streamline rebuilding for homes lost to wildfires. You'll be hearing more from us on this in the coming weeks.

Today I signed an emergency proclamation that waives and suspends numerous state laws so that help can move quickly to those impacted by wildfires. These actions will help Washingtonians access aid, documents, health care and housing, and give businesses relief.

This declaration means FEMA now has additional authority to provide Direct Federal Assistance when our agency requests it. This declaration is focused on immediate emergency response. This does NOT provide direct checks to individuals or unrestricted funding for communities.

Gov. Bob Ferguson@governorferguson.bsky.social · 2w ago

The federal government granted my request in full for an emergency declaration to help cities, counties, the state and tribes fight our record setting wildfires, with the exception of debris removal. We have support for emergency shelters, food and water, search and rescue. Read more here:
