What past disasters mean for kitchens in Pomeroy

Federal records show Garfield County designated in 13 declarations since 1964, led by flooding (7 declarations) and severe storms (3 declarations). If you plan across towns, check the page for Dayton as well; Columbia County has 14 federal declarations on record.

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. Flooding tends to knock out power and drainage first, leaving kitchens unable to cook or keep food cold even when the building is standing. By incident type, the count is flooding 7, severe storms 3, coastal storm 1, wildfire 1 and volcanic eruption 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 1970s 2, 1980s 1, 1990s 2, 2000s 4, 2010s 1 and 2020s 2. Before that came Severe Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4539, April 23, 2020), Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4249, January 15, 2016), Severe Winter Storm and Record and Near Record Snow (DR-1825, March 2, 2009), Severe Winter Storm, Landslides, Mudslides, and Flooding (DR-1817, January 30, 2009) and Hurricane Katrina Evacuation (EM-3227, September 7, 2005).

Between 2016 and 2025 the Storm Events Database recorded 4 county-based event records in Garfield County, with high-wind and thunderstorm events the most common at 2. Storm winds mean outages measured in days in some places, so the generator question belongs in the plan from the start.

Since 2016, NIFC perimeter data lists 1 large wildfire beginning in Garfield County, about 13,445 acres in all. Lower Granite (2024, 13,445 acres) was the largest. Smoke, evacuations and power shutoffs can close kitchens and spoil stock even when the flames never reach the building.

A declaration designates an area for federal assistance; it does not describe damage at any one address.

Construction projects and crew meals near Pomeroy

Since October 2021, 9 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Garfield County as the place of work. Another public record is “Provide New 480v Ac Switchgear Lineups,” a $9.9 million Department of Defense contract from November 2019 in Garfield County (award record). In September 2022, the Department of Defense awarded a $5.8 million contract for “Navigation Channel Maintenance 2022 - Walla Walla District USACE” in Garfield County, with work running to March 2023 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $4 million Department of Defense contract, “Lower Granite Intake Gate Hydraulic System Upgrades,” starting September 2025 in Garfield County (award record). The Department of Defense committed $2.8 million to “Lower Granit Nav Lock Upstream FGW Impro” in Garfield County, awarded March 2023 (award record). A contract of that size means a crew that eats on site: hot food for many people on odd shifts, with water and wastewater to plan for the kitchen. A job in Clarkston (about 7,138 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.

Rebuilds and remodels around Pomeroy

No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Garfield County. The nearest is in Columbia County, about 20 miles away. USASpending.gov shows a $1.3 million Department of the Interior contract, “Remove and Replace Valves at the Marmes Well Pump Site,” starting July 2023 in Columbia County (award record). The Department of the Interior committed $1.2 million to “Wa-Dayton Pond Fac-Pond Repair Weir” in Columbia County, awarded April 2023 (award record). Building repair and modernization work often closes a kitchen for part of the project, which is when a temporary kitchen on a lease keeps meals going. Whoever remodels in Pullman starts from the same two questions: when does the kitchen close, and what feeds people until it reopens?

Emergency access and staging near Pomeroy

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 Asotin, look to the agencies covering Asotin County rather than assuming the same routes.

The nearest hospital in CMS's list is Garfield County Public Hospital District #1, a critical access hospital, in Pomeroy itself.
