Virtual Hurricane Preparedness, Flood Control Workshop June 9

Wellington invites the public to attend a Virtual Hurricane Preparedness and Flood Control Workshop on Wednesday, June 9 beginning at 10 a.m. via Zoom Webinar.

In preparation for the 2021 hurricane season, Wellington is working to ensure that all residents are prepared. This flood control workshop is designed for residents, property managers and community board members who are responsible for the operation and maintenance of their drainage system.

Attendees will gain an understanding of the functions of stormwater management and the role that residential communities play in flood control. They will also learn about and be able to identify the components of the drainage system, as well as understand basic maintenance techniques and methods used to prevent localized flooding.

Attendees will hear from the South Florida Water Management District’s Acting Supervisor for Regional Representatives, Libby Pigman, as well as Wellington flood control and emergency operations officials.

This event is free and open to the public. Register on Zoom for the Village of Wellington’s Flood Prevention Seminar.

For those needing Community Association Management continuing education units (CEUs), two hours are available for attending the workshop
