Repetitive Floodloss Community Meetings in Terrebonne

As part of the Repetitive Floodloss project, community meetings were held earlier this year in the two neighborhoods that make up the current study area - Roberta Grove and Senator Circle. At these meetings residents and local officials were introduced to the project scope and its process.

The project team conducted fieldwork, asked residents about their flooding history, and gathered community plans. All of this data and more will culminate in the Repetitive Floodloss Area Analysis for Roberta Grove and Senator Circle.
