Oakland Flood Commission

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Oakland Flood Control Commission will hold a public meeting on Monday, Feb. 10, from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the main room of the Senior Center on Lawlor Drive, behind the First Aid Squad Building on Route 202 in Oakland. Interested residents will be offered information on the new flood insurance rates (who will be effected, when it will start and how it works); the borough’s participation in the Community Rating System (CRS) program (what it is and why it is important to every resident carrying flood insurance); future mitigation efforts (including elevating structures); and the Trout Unlimited project and its benefits. Following this program, there will be an opportunity for the public to ask questions relating to these topics. This session will be followed by the regular monthly meeting of the Oakland Flood Control Commission, which also is open to the public.
