BELLINGHAM, Wash.- The deadline to report damage from late December storms is fast approaching.

The Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office Division of Emergency Management says the deadline is this Friday, January 6th.

Individuals and businesses are asked to report any damage from heavy snow, freezing rain and flooding between December 18th and 28th.

The information will be used to apply for state and federal assistance, but there’s no guarantee that the county will receive that aid.
