|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 2017 | Flood | Stetson | $385,000 | Snow melt and periodic heavy rain during the month of March caused numerous debris flows and areal flooding issues through out the county. Many road washouts and closures affected travel and cut off residents of some communities until emergency repairs could be made days later. Shoshone County was included in a Presidential Disaster Declaration as a result of the damage sustained during this episode. |
| January 2011 | Flood | Stetson | $30,000 | Flooding was reported along the St. Joe River from Avery to Calder. Avery Creek rose above its banks and flooded parts of the old Forest Service building and nearby residences in the town of Avery. The old highway from Marble Creek to Avery was washed out as well. Mudslides and high water wiped out sections of Calder Road and Trout Creek Road near Calder. More flooding was reported along the St. Joe River downstream of Calder into Benewah County. On the 17th, the St. Joe River at Calder went above its flood stage of 13 feet at 1045PST; crested at 13.18 feet at 1445PST; and then went back below flood stage at 2000PST. |
