"You can't get there from here..." Join our February 20th Hazard Mitigation discussion at 7 p.m. Thursday.

In a flood, that may be true. Roadways become inundated, culverts wash out and bridges become unsafe. Learn more about how to plan evacuation routes, and what portions of our roadways could fail... and hence prevent access to needed resources, safety or shelter.
