Escambia County Releases April 2014 Two-Year Flood Recovery Report

Published Apr 28, 2016

Marking the recent two-year anniversary of the April 2014 flooding event that severely impacted Escambia County and its residents, the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners has created the April 2014 Flood Recovery Report to provide citizens with updates about transportation and drainage mitigation projects and repairs in their neighborhoods and communities. The report is available online in high resolution and low resolution formats.

The report highlights Escambia County’s ongoing efforts to make repairs to 2,300 damage points to county roadways, bridges, drainage systems and ponds as a result of the April 2014 flood, along with recommendations from the Stormwater Advisory Team and efforts to improve stormwater standards county-wide. Also outlined in the report are the many sources of funding the county is utilizing to help fund approximately $25.8 million in transportation and drainage repair and improvement projects throughout Escambia County.

County Administrator Jack Brown states in his opening letter, “With such staggering destruction, recovery is neither fast nor easy; it must be a strategic, multi-year commitment.” He ends by saying, “While we can never take away the suffering our residents endured as a result of this natural disaster, we can continue to identify and invest in solutions to reduce the threat of flooding and protect our citizens.”
