Our Fall meeting was held via Zoom on November 21st, 2024. Video recording, slide deck, and links to referenced documents are below.

Two articles about establishing lake levels were referenced in the meeting. They are here – Part 1 and Part 2. 

Hamburg Township Board of Trustees will be discussing “whether Township money can or should be spent on flood prevention or ameliorative activities” (see p. 83 of the Board packet for a memorandum by Hamburg Township Treasurer, Jason Negri) during Tuesday’s Board meeting. As this affects so many in our community, particularly for safety concerns and property damage/values, it is imperative that as many people as possible attend and speak at the meeting. It will be on Tuesday, November 19th at 7:00pm at the Hamburg Township Offices (10405 Merrill Road).

At the end of our August meeting, we mentioned that we are looking to gather information on homeowners’ flood-related damage costs to make an argument for the economic impact of the persistent, increasing floods. It is important for as many property owners as possible to share this information so we have an accurate representation of economic loss. We have created an anonymous survey to gather the flood-related damage costs to each property. The survey does not record your name or email address. (Please have only one homeowner from each property complete the survey.) Please use this link to complete this anonymous survey: https://forms.gle/zgk9Jbzh2z3fWhXV8 

A news crew from Channel 7 visited the Ore Lake area today. The report ran today on the 6 o’clock news and is available on their website.

Channel 2 also ran a story.

We have posted a few drone videos of the flooding around Ore Lake to a playlist on our YouTube channel.

The Huron River as of July 12th, has now surpassed the flood level and is currently at 7.23 feet. There is now No Wake throughout the region. Also, the prediction has increased to now reach 7.7 feet on Sunday, 7/14. The river level continues to climb. Please be safe and go slowly as you move through flood water. As you continue to experience flooding on your property, please report it on iFlood.org. And reach out if you need any help with the continually increasing water levels. 

Recording of our recent Zoom meeting and associated slides are now available for viewing.

Happy almost spring! We will have our next organization meeting on Thursday (3/14) at 7pm on Zoom. Come join us to hear about all we have been working on and also help us learn more from you!
