The meeting will take place from 5:30-7 p.m. Wednesday, April 30 at Warriors Hall, 201 Stillwell Blvd., Crestview. The meeting is open to anyone interested in learning more about future flood mitigation and the possible impacts of flood events on the community.
“I encourage everyone to learn more about where they live and the potential flood risks they may encounter,” County Commission Chairman Paul Mixon said in a news release. “These public meetings give our residents the chance to not only learn about their community but to engage in worthy conversations that can lead to a safer county.”
During the meeting, attendees will hear from county staff and Jacobs Engineering representatives on the methodology and results of the countywide vulnerability assessment. Attendees will have the chance to provide input on results from the exposure and sensitivity analysis and participate in a question-and-answer session.
The Vulnerability Assessment Project is an initiative aimed at safeguarding the unincorporated areas of Okaloosa County against environmental risks, including rising sea levels and flooding.
