King County has an aging system of 500 hardened embankments and levees, most of which are more than 40 years old. Many were built by farmers with the dirt they had on hand to protect their fields.
Today, these very same aging levees protect critical businesses and public infrastructure that support our livelihoods and collective prosperity.
If we learned anything from Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, it's that lives are lost and economies ruined when flood-control levees are ignored and collapse. It's far less expensive to fund flood prevention than to rebuild communities after a catastrophe.
