Attention Boat Owners:
It’s that time of year again. The weather will start to get nice and the local rivers and lakes will soon be booming with sport and recreational boats. The Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office would like to extend an invitation to all boat and personal watercraft owners. Come out to the Willow Grove Boat launch or the Kalama Marina on Saturday June 4th, between the hours of 10AM and 2PM for your free marine vessel safety inspection.
Each vessel that passes inspection will receive their 2016 Marine Safety Decal. Additional boating information will also be available.
For additional information contact Dep. Jordan Spencer at the Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office at 360-577-3092

Are your documents in order?
Securing
Your Financial Documents
Many
Americans experience the challenge of rebuilding their lives after a disaster
or other emergency. In these stressful circumstances, having access to personal
financial, insurance, medical, and other records is crucial for starting the
process of recovery quickly and efficiently.
Taking
the time now to collect and secure these critical records will
give you peace of mind. In the event of an emergency, it will also ensure that
you have the documentation needed to start the recovery process without delay.
The
Emergency Financial First Aid Kit (EFFAK) can
help you financially prepare if a disaster or other emergency strikes your
community. The EFFAK contains four important steps to financial preparedness:
·
Assemble
your important documents and contacts;
·
Review
your insurance policies and financial paperwork to be sure that they are still
accurate and current;
·
Store
paper and electronic copies of all files in safe locations; and
·
Revisit
and update your EFFAK on a regular schedule. (Updates are especially important
when certain changes in your life occur, like a change in marital status, birth
of a child, and opening or closing accounts.)
April
is Financial Literacy Month. This month is a great opportunity to review and
update your EFFAK. You can find more financial preparedness resources online.
