Hello Everyone,

As you all know we had some very significant flooding 3 weeks ago.  I did have residents call with questions about how to prepare for this type of event and what to do during the flooding. I have asked Chief Ferris to create a list of ways to prepare for and handle a storm. Please read this carefully because we all know the flooding will happen again and this information should be helpful to you and your families.
