July 9, 2021 Nez Perce and Asotin county commissioners issued disaster declarations this afternoon because of the wildfires creating an imminent threat to property, public utilities, infrastructure lines of communication, private property and lives of local responders and private citizens. The declarations come amid numerous wildfires and the warnings for residents on both sides of the Snake River to be prepared to evacuate. Also this afternoon, Asotin County officials released an updated evacuation map, which puts the Cloverland area in Level 2, meaning people should be ready to evacuate at a moment’s notice, while the Clarkston Heights has been moved back to Level 1, which means evacuation isn’t eminent.
