Local officials, excited about the prospect for future funds for the Aberdeen-Hoquiam Flood Protection Project, commented about the Washington state ...

“An investment by the Legislature of $35.5 million will give the cities the confidence that both the North Shore Levee and the North Shore Levee West segments will be bid for construction as soon as final design and all permitting is completed, expected by early 2025,” Clemens said. “Our team will have the financial resources coupled with our commitment to bring this project to the finish line. “We developed a strategic plan in 2016 and with hard work and dedication by everyone involved, we are on the cusp of implementing that plan. “When the project is complete, our cities will see significant economic development from existing home and building owners who can now renovate their properties and vacant landowners who can now develop their properties without the restrictions of being in a flood zone.” “This is tremendous news for the citizens of Aberdeen and Hoquiam,” Aberdeen Mayor Pete Schave said. “The appropriation is provided solely as state grant assistance to the cities of Aberdeen and Hoquiam to match federal funding for the Aberdeen-Hoquiam Flood Protection project, North Shore Levee and North Shore Levee West segments,” the Senate capital budget states. “We would not be where we are today without the teamwork and partnerships built between federal, state and local elected officials and staff,” Shay said. “It also means we can enable future investments in affordable housing and economic development in the region by pulling some of these properties out of the flood plain. And it means we won’t see so much money leaving the community in the form of flood insurance payments. “They have also promised to the next biennium that the cities will receive $17 million for the rest of the funding for those projects. “Residents and businesses alike face financial burdens through steep flood insurance premiums totaling a minimum of $2.2 million annually.” Clemens, along with Shay and Lynnette Buffington, CEO of Greater Grays Harbor Inc., testified before the Senate Ways and Means Capital Budget Committee on Monday, March 20.

A flood watch is in effect in central Indiana, including Bloomington, until Saturday morning due to excessive rainfall, which can cause flooding of rivers, ...

Wind gusts may blow away unsecure objects and tree limbs, which may result in power outages, according to the National Weather Service. A wind advisory will be in effect in central Indiana, including Monroe County, from 4 a.m. to 5 p.m.

A strong storm system Friday will bring the potential for severe weather to 30 million people from the Lower Mississippi Valley to the lower Ohio Valley.

Storm totals between 2 and 4 inches of rain are expected, with the heaviest rainfall potentially exceeding 5 inches in total. A flood watch means conditions are favorable for possible flooding, and it’s not a strong indication flooding will occur, the “I balled up and I started hitting everywhere like a ping-pong ball.” A tornado watch has been issued for eastern Arkansas, northeastern Louisiana, central and northern Mississippi and western Tennessee. The National Weather Service says two separate EF-1 tornadoes struck Parker County, Texas, Friday morning. Rolling Fork is in western Mississippi, about 55 miles northwest of Jackson.

The Battery Park City Authority, as part of a major climate resilience plan, will tear down Wagner Park and elevate it by 10 feet to address flood risk.

"This community is going to be fine one way or the other," Pawlowski said of Battery Park City. He said the high level of controversy over the Wagner Park demolition points to how climate adaptation and wealth inequality are strongly connected. Britni Erez, a Battery Park City resident and member of the neighborhood association, thinks the BPCA's resilience plan shouldn't have been approved. "Yes, their plan will protect from sea level rise and storm surge, but in the process, they're contributing to the climate problem by reducing greenspace and emitting more greenhouse gases." [notified elected officials ](https://bpca.ny.gov//wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Alternative-Concept-Response-November-3-2022.pdf)that it had rejected elements of the neighborhood association's alternative plan, citing key engineering, logistical and design considerations. The final plan to tear down and rebuild Wagner Park did not come easily. Wagner Park is located in a primarily residential neighborhood of upscale high-rise apartment buildings in Battery Park City. The raised Wagner Park will include a buried flood wall along with elevated berms and pop-up walls — infrastructure that's been identified as critical in an era of climate change. Residents rallied again in August after learning the BPCA's project would reduce the amount of lawn space from the existing Wagner Park. "It's going to be a lot of these little local battles over time." The change will protect the neighborhood from flooding, storm surge and rising sea levels. Built nearly 30 years ago, the park has served as an escape for residents of the fast-paced, densely packed neighborhood in Lower Manhattan.

Asbestos regulations do not apply to homeowners (other than landlords) doing DIY work on their properties, but WorkSafe recommends they use licenced professionals because of the health risks involved, and it Asbestos waste has to be double-bagged and taken to authorised disposal sites, but Catterall says that could be a challenge when dealing with silt.
