JOHN DAY – Grant County Emergency Management Coordinator Eric Bush was on KJDYโ€™s Coffee Time earlier this week. During the episode Bush discussed the recent high water event experienced in Grant County, and issued a few precautions as well:

โ€œThe high water that we had the other day, thatโ€™s subsided. I would still caution folks thoughโ€”weโ€™ve had some reports [come in] of people trying to recreate in the water. I mean, I appreciate their courage, but itโ€™s probably not a really good idea with the water as high and fast-running as it is. My big thing is always making sure you look out for small children. Theyโ€™re always drawn to water.โ€
