Description
Spring Flood Meeting 03-12-2020
A
Good
evening,
thank
you
everybody
for
coming
tonight.
We
have
the
informational
meeting
for
you,
some
cool
videos
to
show
you
and
I
want
to
get
started
right
away
to
the
know.
People
are
busy.
I
just
want
to
reassure
the
public
that
the
government
is
planning
and
we're
ready
in
case
there's
a
flood
hope
we
don't
have
one.
We
aren't
out
of
the
woods
yet,
and
you
will
hear
about
that
as
the
time
goes
on
here,
but
I
we
have
had
really
good
conditions.
So
hopefully
that
will
continue.
A
B
Learning
about
their
blood
preparations
by
component
they'll
talk
about
briefly
here
this
evening,
for
your
information
pertains
to
be
the
public's
involvement
and
flood
fighting
as
far
as
the
city
agency
is
concerned,
and
where
our
horses
focus
our
efforts
and
why
that
is,
and
then
we've
got
a
few
pictures
of
some
of
the
work
that
we
did
last
year.
Some
of
the
efforts
we
put
into
the
flood.
B
B
That's
one
of
the
Panero
misconceptions
that
are
out
there
is
that
those
end
up
with
those
two
types
of
water
and
flow
end
up
the
same
place
and
all
get
treated
at
the
wastewater
plant.
But
in
fact
they
don't
and
I
just
wanted
to
point
out,
because
those
two
systems
are
kind
of
the
primary
we
have
protected
when
it
comes
to
flood
waters,
primarily
the
wastewater
system.
For
several
reasons,
we
don't
want
to
surcharge
wastewater
system
and
employment.
B
B
They
asked
the
basket
installation,
you
know
like
I
mentioned,
the
cord
is
yourself
or
yes,
these
were
strategically
located
along
the
river
and
to
help
keep
those
river
flows
channel
and
defines
what
it
should
be
there
as
you've
noticed
there's
of
several
levees
and
burns
along
the
river
that
we
built
over
the
years.
But
there
are
several
gaps
in
there
too,
that
are
not
burn,
and
so
we
have
to
fill
those
gaps
with
accessible
baskets.
B
The
reason
those
gaps
exist
is
family
because
allow
those
areas
are
in
a
flood
way
or
the
floodplain
and
the
city
just
hasn't
gone
through
the
rigorous
process.
Yet
at
this
point
to
look
at
filling
those
gaps
with
permanent
berms,
because
we
focus
on
other
alternative
measures
that
could
help
prevent
flooding
a
long
term
for
the
city.
B
Those
discussions
continue
to
happen
and
continue
to
get
looked
at
and
analyzed
as
recently
in
some
welcome
to
you,
they'll
focus
on
and
try
to
determine
long-term
preventive
measures
to
help
protect
the
city
from
flooding,
but
I'll
click
through
with
me
for
these
pictures.
It
is
some
of
the
installations
and
some
of
the
sandbag
processes
that
occur.
It's
pretty
systematic
how
these
Hesco
baskets
get
built
and
how
they
get
filled
with
sand
and
how
the
sand
gets
compacted,
and
things
like
that.
B
You'll
see
this
one.
This
is
a
good
shot
of
the
street
closure
that
we
perform.
We
held
off
on
doing
this
as
long
as
we
could.
Obviously,
we
might
impact
the
traffic
on
these
public
streets,
so
we
waited
until
all
I
think
was
of
the
day
before,
or
we
thought
the
river
yet
miles
had
showed
when
the
river
was
going
to
crest
and
the
approximate
elevation
and
might
press
to
that's
when
we
pulled
the
trigger
on
go
ahead,
closing
the
streets
off
with
the
ESCOs,
because
if
you
notice
that's
one
of
the
gaps
and.
B
Now
this
is
a
list
of
the
sandbank
operations
that
we're
occurring.
We
have
a
great
machine
here
at
our
newest
last
year
at
our
disposal
from
the
Corps
of
Engineers.
They
brought
that
up
for
us
that
coordinated
the
delivery
of
death
I
can't
remember
if
it
was
theirs
or
if
it
was
the
states
with
court
engineers
help
us
get
this
machine
to
help
fill
sandbags
and
very
quick
manner.
There's
a
lot
of
sandbags
most
of
these
sandbags
that
we
validated
used
again
went
towards
protecting
public
infrastructure.
B
We
put
them
around
our
sanitary
sewer,
lift
stations,
we
use
them
to
close
the
gaps
and
the
Hesco
baskets
with
us
with
baskets,
were
just
too
big
and
closed.
We
have
to
use
sandbags
for
that
now
when
all
the
public
infrastructure
was
protected
and
we
had
leftovers,
we
did
ankles
available
to
the
general
public
to
come
and
pick
up,
I
believe
at
some
point
last
spring
and
the
reason
I
say
that
is
because
I
don't
want
to
sound
too
brash
by
stating
that,
but
it
is
a
secondary
concern.
B
Thus
far
as
a
private
protection
of
private
property,
the
city
would
love
to
go,
helps
many
people's.
We
could
with.
As
you
can
imagine,
you're
dealing
with
22,000
residents.
We
can't
hardly
start
to
pick
and
choose
whose
house
we're
going
to
go
up
started,
help
sandbag.
So
that's
where
the
private
responsibility
doesn't
really
fall,
all
mourner
or
the
business
owner
to
protective
properties.
B
Now
with
one
of
the
functions
we
do
out
with.
In
that
respect,
it
is
helping
provide
information.
If
one
of
my
roles
is
burst,
reactor
is
also
City
Engineer
in
an
engineering
office,
we
have
a
lot
of
technical
that
are
related
to
floodplain,
elevations
and
elevations
certificates
for
properties
that
are
in
the
floodplain,
and
that's
some
good,
valuable
information
that
many
folks
can
have
at
their
disposal.
B
Just
one
of
the
things
we
want
to
touch
on
another
a
lot
of
questions
last
year
that
came
up.
Why
would
with
these
big
baskets
everywhere?
What
are
we
doing?
What
do
they
that,
hopefully,
has
this
discussed?
This
helps
shed
a
little
light
on
that
and
what
the
role
of
the
public
departments
are:
the
city
departments
when
they're
out
there
what
these
majors
in
place,
it's
really
to
help
protect
a
public
infrastructure.
It's
helped
to
keep
it
in
that
river
channel
under
controls.
It's
not
flooding
the
neighborhoods
and
the
streets,
and.
B
Wouldn't
know
up
or
plugin
for
this
for
the
wasteful,
our
superintendent,
they
they
deal
with
the
you
know
the
variance
or
the
the
term
escapes
me.
This
cell
call
variance
where
we
allow
the
so
long
clothes
to
go
into
the
sanitary
sewer
system.
We
kicked
that
off
late
last
fall.
We
issue
the
record
number
of
variances,
which
we're
glad
to
see
the
people
were
complying
with
that
process,
actually
getting
a
variance
to
be
able
to
do
that,
and
that's.
B
Through
April
15th,
if
you
recall
last
year,
we
had
to
go
door
hit
people
out
of
the
sanitary
sewer
system,
take
their
some
truffles,
go
outside
to
their
yards
to
the
front
curb
anywhere,
but
the
sanitary
sewer
system
we're
thinking
again
this
year,
just
because
of
the
saturated
conditions
that
runner
were
probably
having
knew
that
data
at
the
end
we
haven't
decided
the
definitive
date
yet,
but
over
the
next
week
or
two
here
will
rather
be
announcing
more
on
that
to
get
those
cells
out
of
the
sanitary
sewer
system.
He.
E
Questioned
in
the
city
and
the
utilities
were
working
at
them.
The
city
of
utilities
were
working
on
a
elevation
map
of
the
lake
to
where
you
could
map
a
property
at
a
level.
The
flood
and
therefore
would
have
been
sure
that
the
in-ground
stuff
was
plug
was
that
were
completed,
and
are
we
ready
to
go
that?
What
the
link
is
certain
levels
we
know
which
properties
protect?
E
B
Great
question:
our
our
sister
agency,
the
with
water
top
municipal
utilities,
collected
a
lot
of
data
around
the
lake
and
it's
the
actual
survey
shot
away
shots
on
mainly
their
primary
focus
was
the
gas
meters
they
wanted
to
have
elevations
on
almost
and
know
that
they
were
protected
and
to
know
when
they
needed
to
be
shut
off
in
order
to
prevent
the
flood
larger
effect
in
that
system.
So
we
do
have
a
lot
of
good
elevation
down
and
they've
compiled
a
spreadsheet
and
work
on
math
I.
B
Don't
know
the
exact
status
of
the
math,
but
I
do
know
one
get
a
good
spreadsheet
to
use
internally
as
far
as
utilities
and
Public
Works,
knowing
which
properties
are
at
risk.
Once
you
know
the
flood
waters
get
to
a
certain
elevation.
Again,
that's
steer
more
towards
protecting
that
that
gas
system,
the
natural
gas
system
and
knowing
I'm
going
to
shut
those
valves
off
to
protect
that
infrastructure.
B
We
did
want
to
use
that
data
to
Lowell
to
help
share
with
the
general
public
and
I,
don't
think
it's
quite
ready
to
rule
out
as
a
map,
but
we
do
still
have
good
information
about
elevations
and
things
like
that
in
our
office.
If
we
were
to
get
calls,
we
can
definitely
help
fill
those
kind
of
questions.
B
You
know
what
does
the
the
elevation
certificate
of
a
certain
property
state
in
relation
to
the
plug,
Lane
elevations
and
then,
as
they
monitor
through
this
spring,
what
the
lake
levels
are
going
to
do
that
kind
of
helps
them
gauge
that
what
to
expect
for
their
own
personal
property
and
what
kind
of
makers
they
might
have
to
take.
But
that's
a
good
question
I'm
glad
you
mentioned
that,
because
I
also
wanted
to
use
an
example
from
municipal
utilities,
their
substation,
their
power.
C
B
D
Other
things
and
I
want
to
let
you
know
that
a
lot
of
time
was
well
prepared.
If
anybody
doesn't
know
what
the
incident
command
structure
is
that
the
white
members
gonna
call
you
later
to
tell
you
what
that
is,
but
it's
an
incredible
thing
with
the
city
all
comes
together
and
there's
a
lot
of
talents
in
the
city
and
it's
amazing
the
work
that
they
do
when
everybody
works
together.
Water
comes
in
good
hands,
bye,
my
job
of
when
we
activate
the
EOC.
The
operation
center
has
found
the
Operations
Section
Chief.
D
Stevens,
but
we
don't
think
turns
up
overseeing
the
operations
center
so
last
year
it
was
about
you
know,
late
March,
his
way
he
started
really
watching
the
mountain
and
paying
close
attention.
We
were
working
closely
with
Weather,
Service
and
Army
Corps
of
Engineers,
and
we
were
ready
and
on
the
drop
of
a
dime.
We
activated
that
AOC,
it's
just
an
incredible
thing:
to
see
how
all
people
come
together
and
to
click,
there's
no
egos
in
the
road,
it's
all
for
one
possible,
but
one
good
cause
that
everybody's
working
together,
but
he's
gonna
tell
you.
D
D
In
the
police
department,
and
so
we're
able
to
get
footage
that
we
never
were
able
to
get
before
it
really
is
a
game
changer,
and
this
is
a
good
demonstrative
evidence
of
the
shape
we
were
in
last
year
compared
to
where
we're
going
to
be
this
year.
So
I'm
just
going
to
take
through
this.
This
first
light.
D
D
D
That's
a
lot
of
water
flowing
and
you
gotta
remember:
that's
all
water,
so
it's
going
south,
but
here's
the
bridge
this
year
compared
to
the
bridge
of
last
year,
that's
at
14th
Avenue
north,
and
you
want
to
be
a
credit
to
sergeant
big
house.
Our
pilot
is
our
only
certified
pilot.
It
has
to
be
a
law
enforcement
certification
twice.
He
does
a
great
job.
He
comes
out
in
the
drop
of
the
down
he's
actually
Facebook
lighting
this
to
anyway
that
couldn't
make
itself
when
it
comes
to
technology.
D
So,
let's
get
to
this,
but
you
can
see
looking
look
at
the
difference.
That's
just
amazing,
thankfully,
to
the
father
lab,
but
again
it
could
change
event,
personal
event
and
that
could
all
change
this
century,
but
we'll
skip
ahead.
This
is
50
meter.
North
you'll
see
this
one,
we're
heading
north
right
now
and
we're
flying
north
we're
actually
going
to
turn
around
come
back
south
and
then,
when
it
catches
up
to
the
same
area,
it
will
start
playing.
So
you
can
see
this
side-by-side
comparison.
D
D
This
is
even
now
they're
currently
today.
This
is
a
lot
more
thought.
I
think
the
rivers
flowing
pretty
good
right
now,
so,
let's
step
there
in
the
garden
and
then
we're
going
we'll
just
show
some
still
pictures.
This
is
done
the
third
third
avenue
north
last
year.
That's
it
incredible!
This
is
the
right
part.
A
D
D
This
is
the
fourth
Devlin
bridge
over
by
are
in
the
middle
again
that
water
is
just
everywhere,
and
it's
standing
right
in
this
banks
right
now
and
then
highway
212,
just
soso
shops
there
when
they
create
a
bridge
there.
Now
so,
hopefully,
that's
going
to
help
Folsom
that
water.
What
does
it
do
back
here?.
D
D
E
E
D
There
may
be
some
customers
said
at
that
moment,
eternally
how
I'm
gonna
explain
that
to
the
chief,
so
that's
it
for
the
slideshow
I
mean
I.
Think
that's
a
good
way
to
visualize
to
see
how
good
we
are
this
year
and
what
keep
your
fingers
crossed
them
saying
little
prayers
because
we're
a
lot
of
things
from
away
from
being
in
trouble.
Thank
you.
C
My
job
up
here
in
the
flood
organizational
chart
structure
is
I'm
the
Planning
section
chief,
what
the
Planning
section
chief
does
it's
his
job
to
create
all
the
documents
for
the
specific
flood,
and
why
is
that
important?
Well,
that's
important
because
of
FEMA
reimbursement.
If
there's
a
declaration
for
FEMA,
we
have
our
Department
of
Public
Safety
here,
Randy
Baxter
he's
part
of
that
team.
If
there
is
a
declaration
of
our
risk
management
director
Jeannie,
of
course,
it
would
put
that
stuff
together
and
once
the
governor
declares
F
without
these
forms
that
we
put
in
place.
C
They're
called
the
incident
action
model
forms.
Basically,
we
would
not
be
able
to
get
reimbursement
so
just
a
little
bit
above
the
top
up.
Here
we
have
the
standard
and
what
the
incident
command
actually
does.
That
person
is
totally
responsible
for
the
the
overall
management
of
the
scene.
The
current
individual
of
the
right
now,
our
Sheriff
Brad
hall,
our
police
chief
leave
in
peak
and
our
chief
Doug
greens
and
these
individuals
will
set
the
objectives,
will
great
strategies
and
tactics
as
a
team
command
team
and
in
planning
process
throughout
the
day.
C
In
a
nutshell,
we
have
these
team
members
identifying
these
particular
roles,
so
they
get
into
the
communities
he's
basically
in
charge
of
the
overall
incident.
Now
on
to
the
next
group.
Up
there
it's
called
command
staff.
There
are
public
information
officer
liaison
officer
and
Safety
Officer.
As
you
can
see,
we
have
the
mayor
as
our
liaison
officer
she's,
trying
to
charge
with
it.
So
is
Brenda
Hanna,
they're
kind
of
charged
with
identifying
procurement
processes
within
with
instinct
technical
management.
C
C
Now
we
look
at
the
public
information
officer
very
important
role.
The
common
is
great
here
now
doing
the
facebook
video
in
force
right
now,
but
he's
tasked
with
disseminating
the
information
to
the
public
and
that
information
is
then
fed
through
emails
to
the
local
radio
stations,
newspapers,
newspapers,
probably
even
TV
stations
as
well,
and
what
we
do
is
give
out
that
information
that's
needed
throughout
the
specific
day
during
these
floods.
C
Now
they
also
will
set
up
the
press
briefings
with
what
those
local
folks
as
well
and
give
up
with
synthetic
specific
information
as
needed
safety
officer
very
important
role
out
there.
We
have
three
individual
ubercart
agent
agreements
and
propels
their
job
is
very
specific.
We
have
a
lot
of
operational
people.
It's
on
the
ground
that
are
working,
their
job
is
to
go
and
visualize
watch
and
see
because
things
are
being
done
at
very
sick
man,
so
commands
to
echo,
there's
very,
very
important
for
us.
C
Okay
over
here
we
have
the
Operations
Section
Chief
define
our
public
works.
Director
does
a
fantastic
job,
great
vision
and
very
dynamic
leader
as
well
as
Tim
he's
got
them
doing.
The
next
presentation,
as
part
of
the
drone
speak
learner
from
Utilities
Department
I
was
the
app
section
is
95
percent.
All
our
work
that
gets
done
and
those
individuals
have
a
lot
of
people
there.
Working
underneath
it
and
I'll
show
you
that
in
the
next
slide,
let's
just
exclude
the
distich
session.
C
We
have
three
individuals
there
they're
in
charge
and
fantastic
is
getting
all
of
us.
Information
are
all
the
quality
tools
and
resources
that
we
need
throughout
the
event,
that's
a
pretty
busy
area
as
well
and
in
planning
session
you're
in
charge
of
all
the
documentation
resource
unit
situation
unit
if
they
identify
anything
that
plans
that
need
to
be
put
forth.
So
we
put
this
an
action
plan
together
and
also
we
need
a
finance
section,
obviously
to
pay
for
all
the
wonderful.
C
You
know
now
briefly
up
they're
not
going
to
spend
too
much
time
up
here,
but
we
have
a
law
enforcement
branch
enforcement,
medical
service
branch
of
strict
Highway.
We
have
utilities
branch,
people
volunteer
group,
and
then
we
have
blaster
but
there,
but
these
are
the
middle
up.
Here
are
tasked
with
many
different
jobs
throughout
the
day.
C
As
far
as
the
operations
95%,
all
the
work
is
being
done
with
these
folks
here
throughout
that
mitigation
process
from
sandbagging
unit
getting
those
volunteers
in
order
to
get
that
those
objectives
completed
throughout
the
day
and
essentially,
there's
probably
and
any
one
given
day,
probably
75
to
80
people
that
are
working
throughout
this
incident
on
a
daily
fashion,
and
hopefully
we
don't
have
that
this
year
and
many
last
one
that
leads.
This
is
a
planning
session,
resourcing
that
we
work
closely
with
the
National
Weather.
C
Service,
obviously
should
be
doing
a
presentation
here:
Kelly
and
US
Army
Corps
of
Engineers.
They
provide
a
lot
of
resources
for
us.
Obviously
we
need
that,
as
we
continue
to
plan
throughout
the
week
I
believe.
Last
year
our
Emergency
Operations
Center
was
activated
and
was
open
for
89
days.
Hearing
something
like
that,
a
tremendous
and
then
situation
unit
is
responsible
problem
with
providing
you
know.
Juice
bit
of
data
drone
footage
a
lot
of
pictures
that
will
help
us
throughout
the
process
of
that
just
refers
to
incident
any
questions.
G
G
G
Soil
moisture
remains
very
high,
and
this
has
been
a
concern
of
ours.
At
the
very
beginning,
going
into
the
fall,
we
were
very
wet,
very
saturated
and
that
has
just
continued
all
through
the
winter,
and
we
have
the
ability
for
the
Spoils
to
soak
up
much
moisture.
Our
sponge
is
already
wet
and
it's
not
going
to
be
able
to
soak
up
war
now.
G
The
good
news
is
in
the
last
month,
or
so
we
have
seen
a
slight
improvement,
we're
going
in
the
right
direction,
but
we've
got
a
long
ways
to
go
before
that
soil
is
going
to
really
be
able
to
take
on
a
lot
of
moisture.
Now
we
are
see
even
the
soils.
Warming
as
well,
the
top
four
inches
there
they're
right
around
that
freezing
mark,
or
so
so
we're
about
to
see
that
thought
start.
So
if
there
is
any
capacity
for
the
ground
to
take
in
water,
we
should
be
seen
it
quite
soon.
G
Current
stream
flows
across
the
region
across
Coddington
County
are
below
flood
stage,
which
is
really
good
at
this
time.
We
also
have
again,
as
I
mentioned.
This
is
no
long
has
been
about
perfect,
there's
only
inches
the
small
amount
of
snow
left
in
and
around
the
Watertown
area,
but
we're
looking
at
for
just
tiny
patches
of
less
than
most
of
it's
gone
and
a
few
spots
of
less
than
four
inches
across
the
region,
and
then
this
is
showing
the
amount
of
liquid.
G
In
that
snow
and
same
thing,
there
probably
have
a
very,
very
spotty
two
inches
or
life,
so
there's
not
a
whole
lot
of
water,
although
I
should
preface
that
is
there,
there
is
some
standing
water
field
that
has
so
that's
going
to
have
to
kind
of
come
into
the
system
as
well,
but
for
the
most
part,
we've
had
about
a
perfect
now
about.
So
that's
the
good
news
the
you
may
be
in
potentially
not
as
good
of
news
is,
while
our
forecast
through
the
next
week
is
really
good.
G
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
precipitation
at
least
into
the
weekend.
It
does
look
like
we
are
going
to
flip
more
into
a
cooler
wetter
pattern
on
the
beginning,
Sunday
and
continuing
through
next
week.
So
the
seven
day
forecast
most
of
the
precipitation
from
the
states
out
that
we
do.
There
is
a
system
that
tracks
across
the
earth
across
North
Dakota,
so
we're
kind
of
missing
it
in
the
next
seven
days
we
have
basically
less
than
a
quarter
inch
of
precipitation
in
the
forecast.
G
G
We
have
below
normal
temperatures
and
above
normal
precipitation
forecasts
for
the
next
six
to
ten
days,
and
that
also
extends
into
the
next
eight
to
fourteen
days,
where
it's
below
normal
precipitation
or
full-on
numbers
have
temperatures
excuse
me
and
a
bug
normal
precipitation.
If
you
go
to
the
one
month
as
a
whole,
temperatures
are
above
normal
and
then
precipitation.
We
don't
have
any
strong
signals,
one
way
or
the
other.
So
how
did
that
play
out
into
the
river
forecast?
These
are
just
our
short-term
forecast
right
now.
G
At
there
there
are
no
gaijin
locations
where
we
produce
forecasts
that
are
expected
to
go
above
flood
stage.
In
the
near
term,
however,
the
potential
still
exists
for
minor
to
moderate
flooding
on
the
Big
C
River,
and
so,
while
the
snow
month
has
gone
well,
we
are
transitioning
to
more
of
a
wet
pattern
and
if
you
don't
want
to
let
our
guard
down
quite
yet
because
one
system
could
change
the
flood
situation
very
very
quickly.
E
Well,
I
brought
reform
I'm
the
project
coordinator
for
the
Upper,
Big
Sur
River
budget
project,
and
it's
kind
of
my
fault
and
everybody's
here
tonight.
I
really
appreciate
the
various
agencies
and
speakers
coming
out
to
help
disseminate
this
information
to
a
larger
term
residents.
I
know
we
don't
have
a
packed
house
tonight,
but
it
is
going
on
TV
and
Facebook
live
as
well.
So
I
really
appreciate
everybody
coming
to
this
this
evening.
Oh
my
concerns
with
the
Watership
project
is
mostly
around
the
lake.
They
can
pass
out
lots
of
information
about
the
lake
itself.
E
We
can
go
into
that
deeply,
however,
what
I
would
like
to
kind
of
get
some
highlights
here.
The
first
thing
that
we
do
is
take
a
picture
of
this
slide.
If
we
get
into
a
flood
situation
this
year
next
year,
these
numbers
are
the
digits
or
like
the
pesky,
Lake
Lake
Pelican,
full
elevation
or
high
water
mark
basically
elevation.
All
these
numbers
have
been
converted
over
to
the
datum
which
we've
got
everybody
to
be
under
reducing
one
set
of
numbers.
This
is
very
important,
so
these
numbers
will
match
or
one
insurance
numbers
on
your
house.
E
Lake
issues:
surface
water,
groundwater,
winded
waves,
it's
not
just
a
flood
event
that
causes
problems
with
your
short
length.
Those
who
view
a
little
bit
length
really
understand
this.
If
the
water
levels
are
high
and
when
the
wind
blows,
we
can
have
I
think
I've
seen
upwards
a
report
for
waiting
for
crash
into
the
shore
lines
or
more
floating
debris.
We
never
encourage
someone
to
use
wood
as
a
shoreline
protection
device,
because
blended
tables
becomes
a
battering
ram
for
your
neighbors.
We
had
some
issues
with.
E
Year,
you
know
docks
coming
apart,
because
the
water
was
really
high.
We
could
restore
the
range
tear
things
apart
and
you
stopped
the
pattern.
The
neighbors
or
homes
elevation
talk
about
that
on
the
next
slide
protection,
oh,
that
same
wonderful
person
from
from
City
Hall
remain
anonymous,
bare
hands
granny.
She
came
up
with
directions.
This
is
another
slide
to
take
a
picture
of.
If
you
go
to
the
first
District
website
and
all
these
directions.
E
This
will
take
you
through
to
a
map
of
your
property,
where
you
can
turn
on
the
contour
lines
and
actually
see
what
the
elevations
are
at
your
property
and
then,
when
we
say
that
okay,
we're
getting
close
to
1723,
you
can
look
at
those
contour
lines
that
are
labeled
and
have
an
idea
of
how
close
is
getting
to
your
crime.
If
you
follow
all
of
these
directions,
you
should
end
up
with
a
map
similar
to
this.
You
can
zoom
in
closer
in
this
map
and
zoom
right
in
up
their
property,
get
a
really
good
look.
E
E
This
is
basically
a
function
of
a
long
grass
that
does
not
have
a
very
deep
root
system
and
when
the
water
rises
will
actually
float
aside
and
it's
you're
about
the
sands
of
Missouri
to
run
an
evening
there
I
do
have
some
handouts
here
today.
It
talks
about
the
deeper
rooted
plants
that,
when
you
receive
this
use
like
a
tall
fescue
or
some
of
the
native
grasses
of
a
deep
root
systems,
I'll
actually
go
down
through
the
side
through
the
topsoil
and
actually
into
the
base
of
Niger,
and
helps
tie
all
that
together.
E
E
There's
a
barbecue
go
out
of
the
water.
It's
will.
Those
rocks
back
you've
got
to
cover
up
that.
You
can
see
the
black
lever
underneath.
That
is
what
really
holds
the
system
together,
that
is
an
80
pound
punctured
the
Geo
textile.
It
allows
the
water
pass
through.
This
stops
the
soil
particles
from
being
stripped
away,
the
rocks
there
are
purposes
that
every
down
not
get
washed
away
and
also
the
block
of
sunlight
opinion.
We
have
inspected
some
systems
like
this
that
were
put
in
right
after
1997
that
are
still
functioning
correctly
today.
E
Here's
another
system
that
we
see,
people
really
gonna
realize
that
the
smaller
rocks
can
get
sucked
out
easily
the
fabric
is
there
and
that's
when
they've
a
lot
of
the
shoreline
in
place.
But
the
rocks
aren't
big
enough.
We
like
we
like
them
to
be
a
12
inch
up
to
a
24
inch
rock,
then
just
fill
in
the
rules,
because
waves
suck
those
out.
E
E
This
will
replace
one
of
our
concerns
during
the
last
season.
Water
levels
were
so
high
and
once
they
started
getting
down
where
he
can
actually
do,
some
work
in
the
growing
season
was
over
would
have
been
impossible
to
give
me
any
kind
of
grass
re-established
and
there
were
four
girls.
So
that's
the
danger
zone
on
this
one
if
it
was
a
spring
time
or
water
crashing
over
and
actually
sucked
that
that
black
curve
back
off
again
before
the
grass
gets
established.
E
So
that's
that's
kind
of
what
we're
looking
for
with
the
shoreline
protection
they
confessed.
Water
project
district
has
graciously
encouraged
me
to
offer
cost
share
to
the
land
bookerson
on
the
lake.
It
will
be
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
I'll
have
to
come
out
and
do
an
inspection
to
see
what
it
looks
like.
If
this
is
all
your
problem,
this
you're
probably
not
going
to
get
any
kind
of
a
share,
but
if
it's
really
ripped
up
and
it's
costing
the
major
grocery
problem,
then
we
can
help
you
fix
it.
It's
just
landscaping.
E
Now
this
is
where
we
get
to
go
into
the
weeds
just
a
little
bit.
It'll,
be
all
the
protection.
Do
a
search
on
the
internet.
Looking
for
residential
barriers,
there's
a
lot
of
products
out
there.
I
cannot
vouch
for
any
of
them.
There
may
be
some
interesting
stuff
out
there.
We
have
had
people
around
the
lake,
build
temporary
berms
with
permanent
homes
and
other
homes.
You
have
people
lived
their
homes
with
various
degrees
of
expense.
Do
some
research
and
see
what
you
can
find?
E
E
E
Fire
everywhere,
the
most
interesting
thing
I
found
was
the
the
carbon.
You
can
see
the
orange
back
there.
This
picture
came
from
Taiwan.
What
it
is,
is
you
buy
back?
You
roll
your
car
into
it.
They
strap
it
tight
you.
Actually
they
actually
have
own
bumpers,
that
you
put
around
your
car
and
they
have
a
you
can
see
the
Alicia.
Is
there
that's
the
tie
off
to
the
tree
so
that
it
doesn't
float
away
and
employment?
E
If
anybody
tries
that,
please,
let
me
know
I
want
watch,
oh
and
then
the
simple
thing,
the
crank
layer
of
grass
or
lumber
on
the
inside
those
I
think
I've,
seen
available
on
the
Internet
as
two
inches
of
protection.
If
you're,
that
close,
you
need
that.
That
is
something
that
you
could
consider.
So
the
moral
of
the
story
is,
if
you're
super
concerned,
do
your
research
find
out
the
pros
I
got
to
con
us?
E
Other
areas
around
the
lake
and
Waverly
make
sure
that
your
sump
pumps
are
ready
to
go
and
a
lot
of
unthoughtful
venture.
Anyway,
the
various
that
piece
was
talking
about
a
little
bit.
There
is
a
link
to
that
on
the
city
website.
I
believe
that
you
can,
if
you
have
the
currency,
you
should
know
about
it.
E
Groundwater
is
always
an
issue.
Kelly
was
alluding
to
the
ground
water
saturated
this
piece
into
our
aquifer.
This
whole
city
sits
on
top
of
a
worship
or
another
of
this
shallow
waters
aquifer.
You
wouldn't
think
that
hospital
policy
NSL
have
any
issues
with
water,
but
they
do
there's
the
top
bill.
There's
a
playmate
that
runs
along
that
side,
leaving
Sioux
River
that,
while
there's
lots
of
sands
and
gravels
and
it's
all
water
burning
throughout
the
entire
area
in
places
that
are
you
to
be
amazed,
just
a
funny
story.
E
E
And
last
I
have,
for
you,
mrs.
I'll,
stand
for
being
temperature
of
this
one
as
well.
These
are
the
some
of
the
locations
where
you'll
find
Club
information
as
we've
updated
places,
or
you
can
ask
questions,
be
comments.
If
you're
a
concern
there,
isn't
anybody
on
the
team
that
will
not
answer
a
question
we'd
like
to
go
through
channels
during
the
events
for
our
information
officer,
the
leading
up
to
that
feel
free
to
contact
us
almost
any
time.
F
Good
evening
my
name's
mark
me
see
I
love
the
South
Dakota
Office
of
Emergency
Management,
either
yourself
caught
up
with
me
this
evening.
Actually
a
to
representative
FEMA
specialists
out
of
the
joint
field
office
located
in
Sioux
Falls
South,
Dakota
I'm,
mr.
Elden
Muir
Miller.
He
is
the
floodplain
man
task
force
leader
for
FEMA
in
this
area
and
then
also
have
his
assistant.
Kelly
Taylor
was
an
insurance
specialist
and
this
evening
we're
going
to
talk
briefly
on
flood
insurance.
E
F
These
are
looking
and
putting
resources
into
the
state,
so
flood
insurance
now
I
have
holders
policy
already
does
that
cover
flood
damage?
Well,
the
answer
that
question
is
no.
If
you
have
surface
water
damage,
your
homeowners
policy
is
not
going
to
cover
that
you
actually
need
a
separate
flood
insurance
policy
in
flood
insurance
is
actually
be
able
to
revoke
the
National
Flood
Insurance
Program.
That's
what
the
state
for
unideal
weapon
or
actually
the
private
market
as
well
so
I
think
they're.
F
Our
best
recommendation
for
this
just
talk
to
your
insurance
agents,
also
things
that
we've
noticed
from
the
state
side.
The
different
agencies,
your
rate,
might
be
a
little
bit
different,
so
check
with
a
couple
different
disease,
so
whatever
it
might
be,
and
check
all
the
m5g
side
and
potentially
the
private
market
side
more
claims
these
days
are
actually
had
a
low
to
moderate
risk
area.
This
needle
here
is
now
identify
absolutely
so
big
thing
just
know
your
risk
know
your
risk
in
orbit
in
South
Dakota
in
2019.
F
You
know,
is
the
wettest
year
of
on
record
there's
over
15
million
in
National
Flood
Insurance
Program
chaos
to
residents
here
in
South
Dakota,
so
flood
insurance
just
isn't
fair,
like
coastal
communities,
one
inch
of
water
and
a
home
can
cause
up
to
25
thousand
dollars
worth
of
damage,
so
maybe
potentially
a
four
or
$500
a
year.
Fletcher's
policy
is
that
waste
much
money,
we've
kind
of
seen
this
past
year.
Some
some
policies
on
people
are
paying
for
five
hundred
dollars
and
actually
had
some
insurance
payouts
of
over
$150,000
for
damage.
C
F
For
disaster
declarations,
most
of
those
were
flooding
related,
but
the
state
of
South
Florida
has
put
in
for
disaster
declarations
before
just
a
couple
years
ago,
there's
the
lake
hidden
with
dam
blowouts
on
the
Walworth,
Evans,
McPherson
County
area
and
heavy
rain
events.
You
know
a
ten
inch
storm.
It
was
a
big
event
for
that
area,
but
it
wasn't
a
big
enough
event
to
be
declared.
You
know
a
federal
presidential
disaster
declaration,
so
assistance
wasn't
available
and
then,
with
these
past
years,
we've
kind
of
seen
on
the
disaster
declarations
site.
F
F
But
the
total
of
policies
and
the
special
one
hazard
is
about
three
hundred
seventy
eighty
so
have
our
penetration
rate
of
remuneration.
Importantly
adverse
effects.
So
just
for
your
information
I'm
going
this
next
slide,
you
wouldn't
have
damages
and
you
have
flood
Trans
policy,
big
thing
as
well.
The
claims
process
takes
with
photographs,
definitely
making
into
inventory
or
your
damage.
Contents
or
damaged
goods,
keep
serial
numbers
of
any
partially
damaged
equipment
and
appliances.
F
Things
to
that
nature
on
you
know,
report
your
claim
start
to
accrue
the
loss
process
if
you're
looking
at
rebuilding
make
some
changes.
Getting
back
repeat,
definitely
go
in
tuck,
your
city
or
county
and
get
a
permit
then
also
potentially
mitigate.
If
you
can,
there
may
be
money
to
help
and
if
you
have
to
apply
as
policy
last
time,
there's
potentially
an
additional
$30,000
that
you
can
get
on
top
of
your
damage
payout
to
help
you
know
potentially
mitigate
the
bridge
from
the
stretcher
up,
so
there's
less
chance
about
letting
the
future.
F
Well,
if
you
do
have
a
claim-
and
you
put
this
in-
and
you
get
a
denial
letter
that
just
isn't
the
end
of
the
line,
so
if
you
ever
do,
if
you
disagree
with
the
findings,
you
can
actually
file
an
appeal
but
to
final
appeal.
You
must
want
to
explain
the
issues
in
writing,
need
to
include
a
copy
of
that
denial
letter
and
then
provide
some
kind
of
supporting
documentation,
maybe
some
photos
of
the
flood
damage.
You
know
some
evidence
of
things
of
that
nature
that
you
know.
Okay,
you
know
contradict
the
denial
letter.
F
Things
of
that
nature,
there's
no
fee
to
file
an
appeal,
and
you
don't
need
a
third
party
to
represent
you.
But
if
you
do
have
a
third
party
to
represent
you,
FEMA
will
not
pay
any
of
the
costs.
You
know
associated
with
that
representation
and
the
big
thing
is
you
have
60
days
for
when
you're
asleep,
that's
not
a
letter
to
try
to
file
appeal
with
that
and
then
he
said,
appeals
publication
blow
now
resource
requests.
F
You
know,
city
of
Watertown,
you
know
other
communities
in
Canton
County.
You
know
an
accountant.
Is
that
nature,
you're
coordinating
with
the
city?
We
can
get
the
updates
where
resources
come,
but
when
the
resource
actually
is
so
fiercely
submitted
ascend
to
the
system
that
needs
to
go
through
the
County.
F
Manager,
so
in
this
case
Jian
GE
or
if
it's
Hamlin
County
its
gave
Schafer
things
that
nature
all
not
every
city
has
a
contact
into
the
system.
So
that's
why
it's
kind
of
broken
down
to
this
county
level.
66
counties
in
the
state
there's
a
66.
You
know
county
people,
that
kind
of
playing
as
I
understand,
and
so
that's
the
big
thing
in
cities.
Towns
need
to
coordinate
to
the
county
emergency
manager.
A
All
right,
Thank,
You
Frederick-
anybody
have
any
questions,
unfortunately,
because
we
have
experience
with
flooding
were
pretty
good
at
it
and
every
year
that
we
do
it,
we
get
a
little
bit
better
and
that
drone
footage
that
really
helped
us
a
lot.
Last
time
and
now
we've
got
the
new
modeling.
So
time
goes
on
to
be
a
better
better
that
Roger
do
you
have
anything
else
path,
a
lesson.
