DAYTON—Keep track of every dollar and every hour you spend on flood mitigation. That was the take-away message from government officials at the offices of the Board of County Commissioners on Monday, when they discussed next steps after the recent flood in Columbia County.

County and City officials are planning a public meeting at 6 p.m., on Thursday, at the Fairgrounds Pavilion to discuss the recent flood. The Pavilion is located at 102 Fairgrounds Lane, Dayton WA. Information about the state’s Individual Assistance Program will be provided.
