Emergency Routes
“Alternate Emergency Route” is defined as a road that is not an established County Road which has been designated by the Wahkiakum County Public Works Department as an emergency access route for use by county residents at such times when public roads are impassable due to floods, earthquakes, landslides or other natural disasters.
These are primitive roads on private timber land. Access to this route will be by permit only. Permits will be issued to families residing in the areas of Grays River that would require access to this route for the specific purpose of allowing access to essential goods and services such as food, medicine, and medical care.
