We also will be joined by Ian Sterne, the Emergency Preparedness Manager for Volunteer Alexandria, to discuss how to prepare for disasters (September is National Preparedness Month); as seen over the summer, parts of Rosemont are at risk of flooding by Hooff’s Run, in addition to other risks such as hurricanes.

Finally, we will be joined by Brian Rahal, a City Engineer who has spoken to us previously about Hooff’s Run – but last did so before the July flooding.  Low-interest loans are available to repair damage from the flooding, but the deadline for applications is rapidly approaching.

We hope to see you there!
