Worried about dangerous flooding at Briarcliff Road and Lakeside school? Surprised by new flood insurance requirements? Concerned that local ponds have become buggy swamps? Frustrated by overflowing storm drains and eroded stream banks?  

If so, join your neighbors to learn about the fragile watersheds in our community around Echo Lake, Greeley Lake, Doreen Lake, Lake Flair, and Kingscliff Lake. 

Tom Shillock, the State of Georgia's Flood Plain Manager and local resident, will describe steps that government agencies are taking in our area to monitor and mitigate flood risk, manage storm waters, and prevent encroachment on stream banks that protect against flooding and sedimentation. Other experts will describe steps citizens like you can take to reduce flooding and erosion; to support native trees, plants, and wildlife; and to protect their personal safety, property, and quality of life. 

All adults and teens are welcome to attend this free event. It will take place in the main sanctuary at Briarcliff United Methodist Church, at the corner of Shallowford and Briarcliff Roads. Light refreshments will be served.
