Camas Washington sits on the Columbia River in Clark County and hosts significant paper and chemical manufacturing operations. The city is home to the Camas paper mill — one of the largest paper manufacturing facilities in the Pacific Northwest. Columbia River flooding risk and Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake risk affect the community. The concentration of industrial chemical operations along the Columbia River creates hazmat considerations.
