We met yesterday to review the citys response to the december 7th storm and recent flooding. As folks are probably aware, we had an out of nowhere, almost tornado, technically a micro burst, but it dumped a whole lot of water on the city in a short period of time on a saturday afternoon. So, due to that, we have been working on adjusting our plans to be more ready to respond in a no notice storm event, which is fairly unusual. However, due to the variability in weather and Climate Change and changes on the planet, we have to be ready for the unexpected. So, we are working on improving our situational awareness, operational response, and our public messaging regarding the storms when they do happen. Secondly, were going to move into the recent activities also this week. We had a Safety Assessment program, proof of concept. It
