The City of Spokane is working closely with @emd.wa.gov to seek a Major Disaster Declaration from the federal government. If approved, the federal government would provide individual assistance to those affected by the Spokane Complex Fire.
Important wildfire news: FEMA has informed us that as of yesterday, they are declaring an end to the federal emergency period for the wildfires in Eastern Washington. That means our request for a federal Major Disaster Declaration is due Sept. 29.
