MOUNT VERNON — U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash., held a forum Friday at Skagit Valley College to discuss the region’s natural hazards with local officials and first responders. The forum discussing hazards such as landslides, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions was part of a series called “Community Preparedness & Resiliency: Planning Today for a Safer Tomorrow.” “This is really something that’s important to all of us. The beauty of this region comes with a price. It’s a very active region,” U.S. Geological Survey Northwest Regional Director Rich Fererro said. |
