Thurston County Emergency Management is urging residents and businesses to report storm damage from December 2025's severe weather systems. The December 2025 storms caused widespread flooding and wind damage across Thurston County, and officials say even minor damage should be reported to help document the full scope of the impact. The County's Emergency Coordination Center activated on December 10, 2025, in response to forecasted rainfall and flooding. Residents can sign up for Thurston Community Alerts to receive emergency notifications or call (360) 867-2800 for non-emergency assistance.

The County is using these reports to better understand storm impacts across Thurston County, which will help inform future emergency planning.
