Our hearts go out to the people in Texas affected by the recent flooding along the Guadalupe River. The stories and images coming out of Kerr County are a moving reminder of nature's immense power and unpredictability.
Many of us in Boulder know firsthand the devastation that flooding can bring. The 2013 flood reshaped our landscape and underscored the need for flood preparedness. Flood mitigation projects, community education, flood warning systems, among other measures, all contribute to our collective resilience to flooding events.
Moments like these encourage us to renew our commitment to protecting people, property and the environment. Boulder continues to work towards enhancing community safety through investments in green infrastructure, nature-based solutions and partnerships with local and regional organizations. These efforts are helping us build lasting resilience that protects our community now and into the future.
Here's a look at some of Boulder's recent flood mitigation efforts.
These projects are developed with equity, environmental stewardship and long-term sustainability in mind - helping Boulder adapt to a future with more extreme weather events.
Floods can happen anytime without warning, but there are simple steps community members can take now to stay safe and prepare for future flooding.
As we face these increasing challenges, our shared responsibility and collaboration matter more than ever. Together, we can prepare for the challenges ahead and protect the safety and well-being of our community.
