Read about the risk of <br />local flooding in the flood hazard section. Learn about <br />protection and preparedness tips, what to do if flooding <br />occurs, how to find out if one lives in a flood hazard area, <br />and much more. <br /> <br />Keeping community members informed and educated about <br />stormwater pollution and ways to protect local waterways is <br />a best management practice in the City’s Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP). Articles in Stormwater <br />Connections typically address seasonal or current issues and cover at least one subject of interest to younger <br />citizens. <br /> <br />Copies of the newsletter have been placed in the City Manager’s Office.
