Past emergencies and recovery needs in Sumner

Federal records show Pierce County designated in 24 declarations since 1964, led by flooding (11 declarations) and severe storms (8 declarations). A project that reaches Edgewood should read that page too; it lists the declarations for its county.

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 flooding 11, severe storms 8, earthquake 2, wildfire 1 and coastal storm 1. By decade: 1960s 2, 1970s 2, 1980s 2, 1990s 7, 2000s 7, 2010s 1 and 2020s 3. The records also list Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (EM-3629, December 12, 2025), Sumner Grade Fire (FM-5360, September 9, 2020), Severe Winter Storm, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4056, March 5, 2012), Severe Winter Storm and Record and Near Record Snow (DR-1825, March 2, 2009) and Severe Winter Storm, Landslides, Mudslides, and Flooding (DR-1817, January 30, 2009).

NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 2 county-based severe-weather event records for Pierce County between 2016 and 2025, led by flood events (2). Floodwater leaves a building standing but unusable, so cooking, dishwashing and cold storage have to run from a trailer on higher, firm ground.

NIFC lists no wildfire of 1,000 acres or more starting in Pierce County since 2016. Smoke and power shutoffs travel farther than fires do, though: the nearest large fire on record began in King County, about 34 miles away, where the Bolt Creek fire burned 14,821 acres in 2022.

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

Construction projects and crew meals near Sumner

Since October 2021, 100 or more federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Pierce County as the place of work. The Department of Defense committed $92 million to “Mcchord Airfield Bridge Repair, Jblm” in Pierce County, awarded May 2020 (award record). Another public record is “Construct Primary Joint Regional Confinement Facility,” a $79 million Department of Defense contract from November 2019 in Pierce County (award record). In September 2025, the Department of Defense awarded a $79 million contract for “Award to Construct Barracks Located at Joint Base Lewis Mcchord (Jblm) Washington” in Pierce County, with work running to October 2027 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $53 million Department of Defense contract, “Military Construction of Consolidated Rigging Facility, Joint Base Lewis-Mcchord, Washington,” starting November 2025 in Pierce 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 project in Pacific, about 7,085 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Major renovation in Sumner

No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Pierce County. The nearest is in Thurston County, about 33 miles away. The Department of Transportation committed $1.3 million to “Replace Olm Atct Roof Envelope and Stop Water Intrusion” in Thurston County, awarded December 2025 (award record). Another public record is “GAOA Rainforest Toilet Replacement,” a $540,000 Department of Agriculture contract from November 2022 in Thurston County (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 Algona starts from the same two questions: when does the kitchen close, and what feeds people until it reopens?
