The recent inclement weather events this spring have tested the resilience and dedication of the Flood Control District team. Faced with both a significant flooding event and a powerful windstorm, our employees demonstrated extraordinary efforts in managing and mitigating the impact of these disasters. The flooding event at the end of April required quick thinking and coordinated action from multiple teams. Just as recovery efforts were underway, a mid-May windstorm brought additional challenges, including widespread debris and damage to infrastructure. Over 11,550 cubic yards of debris were identified across the affected areas resulting from both events, with 68% of the 126 debris points from the flooding event cleared and 24% of the 715 debris points from the windstorm addressed so far.

​

Special recognition is due to the infrastructure and operations administration, hydrologic operations team, GIS team, planning division, property acquisition team, communications team, and flood watch volunteers. Their combined efforts ensured the swift and effective management of these crises. The Building Services team, facilities maintenance team, and support teams played crucial roles in the recovery process as well, conducting damage assessments and maintaining operations despite significant disruptions.

​

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone at the Flood Control District who worked tirelessly during these events. Your dedication, hard work, and willingness to go above and beyond have been truly inspiring. Your collective response has not only mitigated the immediate impacts of these disasters but also strengthened our preparedness for future challenges. Thank you to everyone for your unwavering commitment and perseverance during these trying times. Your efforts have made a significant difference, and we are deeply grateful for everything you do.
