10 Years Since the Flood: Nashville's Resilient Response
In May 2010, Nashville experienced severe flooding across the city. As Nashville recovered, the city aimed for policies and practices to ensure we can be more resilient to future flooding events. Roger Lindsey, the Floodplain Manager with Metro Water Services, will share how the city has responded, including new low-impact development guidelines, stormwater infrastructure, and floodplain buy-outs. Roger will also discuss flood mitigation work at our water plants that provides protection from future flood events.
