The Washoe County Commission ratified the County Manager’s Declaration of Emergency for February flooding, after an emergency item was heard at Tuesday’s commission meeting. The item will be heard again at the Board’s of County Commissioners meeting March 13th. The declaration could provide additional options for residents to seek individual assistance. Chairman Bob Lucey says, due to the continued flooding in Lemmon Valley, safety of the citizens continues to be the number one priority for the commission.  Washoe County Social Services has two social workers going door-to-door in Lemmon Valley each day to check-in on residents, and find out what they need.
