As the cleanup continues in downtown Madison and other areas impacted by flash flooding on June 18, the city of Madison has launched a multi-phased response at getting help for those who lost property last month while addressing ways to mitigate flooding in the future and how to access assistance more quickly and effectively in the wake of future disasters.
Madison City Council adopted a resolution supporting flood recovery efforts Tuesday and heard the first reading of an ordinance adopting new flood plain regulations. Meanwhile, Mayor Bob Courtney said the city has already met with Army Corps of Engineers representatives to determine what can be done to prevent damaging flooding in the future and is looking to work with volunteer organizations to build a local support network that can quickly respond after floods and other disasters moving forward.
