In the news: Federal study to help Great Lakes communities prevent floods

Posted May 21st, 2012 in Climate Ready Communities, Stormwater & Green Infrastructure
A data collection project is currently underway that would help communities prepare for and prevent flooding in the Great Lakes basin. There are also six technical workshops for coastal management and associated professionals to be held next month at several locations around the Great Lakes. 
 
From the Great Lakes Echo: 
“Federal officials are studying how to help Great Lakes communities better prepare for hazardous floods.
 
‘It will be the most comprehensive study ever conducted of shoreline flooding,’ said Ken Hinterlong, a senior engineer with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. So far, only ‘…the first phase of the project is done, which is a basin-wide data collection for Lake Michigan and Lake St. Clair.’”
