Past emergencies and recovery needs in Kittitas

Since 1964, Kittitas County has been named in 27 FEMA declarations; wildfire (10 declarations) and flooding (8 declarations) lead the list. If you plan across towns, check the page for Ellensburg as well; its own declaration history is listed there.

The most recent is Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4906), declared April 7, 2026, with the incident beginning December 5, 2025. Floodwater can contaminate kitchen equipment and force closures until cleanup and inspection are finished, which is when replacement cooking, dishwashing and cold storage matter. By incident type, the count is wildfire 10, flooding 8, severe storms 5, coastal storm 1 and earthquake 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 1970s 3, 1980s 1, 1990s 4, 2000s 5, 2010s 10 and 2020s 3. Earlier declarations include Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (EM-3629, December 12, 2025), Wildfires and Straight-Line Winds (DR-4584, February 4, 2021), Ryegrass Coulee Fire (FM-5253, July 10, 2018), Jolly Mountain Fire (FM-5200, September 2, 2017) and Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4249, January 15, 2016).

Ten years of NOAA storm records, 2016 through 2025, show 4 county-based event records for Kittitas County; high-wind and thunderstorm events account for 3 of them, flood events for 1. Wind events bring down lines and trees, and a kitchen that loses power cannot keep stock cold for more than a few hours.

Since 2016, NIFC perimeter data lists 6 large wildfires beginning in Kittitas County, about 100,483 acres in all. Labor Mountain (2025, 42,968 acres) was the largest, and Three Queens (2026) the most recent. Fire weather means planned power cuts as well as fires, and a walk-in cooler does not keep product cold through a long shutoff.

FEMA declarations apply to designated areas and do not say which individual buildings were affected.

Construction projects and crew meals near Kittitas

Since October 2021, 12 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Kittitas County as the place of work. In August 2021, the Department of the Interior awarded a $5.5 million contract for “Sandelin, Rock Revetment, Cle Elem Reservoir, Washington” in Kittitas County, with work running to October 2026 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $2.3 million Department of the Interior contract, “Speelyi Beach Shoreline Protection, Yakima Project, Washington, Bureau of Reclamation C-PN Region,” starting September 2026 in Kittitas County (award record). The Department of the Interior committed $1.7 million to “Wishpoosh Campground Improvements, Cle Elum Dam and Reservoir, Yakima, WA” in Kittitas County, awarded June 2020 (award record). Another public record is “GAOA MTN to Sound Greenway Heritage Area Road Improvement Package No 3,” a $1.1 million Department of Agriculture contract from June 2021 in Kittitas County (award record). Crews on projects like this rarely have a restaurant nearby, which is the case for cooking on site with a rented kitchen and a dishwashing trailer. A job in Naches (about 1,090 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.

Renovation projects that close kitchens in Kittitas

No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Kittitas County. The nearest is in Yakima County, about 46 miles away. USASpending.gov shows a $7.2 million Department of Agriculture contract, “Air Handler Unit Replacement - Four Units,” starting May 2025 in Yakima County (award record). Renovations like this are the usual reason an institution leases a mobile kitchen, because the permanent one cannot run while the work is under way. The closure date drives the plan in Selah too.

Emergency access and staging near Kittitas

The Washington Emergency Management Division (EMD) and local emergency managers decide where public disaster staging happens in Washington. Those details are theirs to publish and update, so this page points to them instead of guessing at a route. For work in Tieton, look to the agencies covering Yakima County rather than assuming the same routes.

The nearest hospital in CMS's list is Kittitas Valley Community Hospital, a critical access hospital, in Ellensburg, about 6 miles from Kittitas in a straight line.
