PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY

At present the Sprague River is at 7.5', and minor flood stage is 8.5'. The NWS 
forecasts it to go down and then come back up and reach minor flood stage early 
Saturday afternoon. If the river reaches 8.5', life, property and the 
environment are at risk; there is a high likelihood that structures will be 
affected. The Sprague River flooded in 1997 from the same conditions (snow, 
rain, warm temperatures and melt) and crested at 9', damaging approximately 46 
structures.

information.

2.       Sand bags and sand will be made available to anyone who needs them.
