Please join us for a discussion on how stormwater management affects public health. Speakers will address topics such as street and residental flooding, residential mold, displacement (temporary and permanent), stress, and others. Attendees will have the opportunity to be put into breakout groups to discuss what they heard and then return to the full group to engage in a dialogue with the speakers and other attendees.
