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
