- [00:00:06.000]A Nebraska town hit hard by historic flooding
- [00:00:09.510]gets help from the College of Architecture.
- [00:00:12.090]Extreme flooding in 2019 cut off all roadways to Fremont,
- [00:00:16.470]turning the town into an island.
- [00:00:18.810]Community and regional planning students
- [00:00:20.850]presented their flood hazard mitigation studies
- [00:00:23.602]to the citizens of Fremont at an open house.
- [00:00:26.751]The class developed strategies to reduce flood risk
- [00:00:30.390]and increase public awareness.
- [00:00:32.730]So we had engaged the university
- [00:00:35.910]to work on a risk awareness project
- [00:00:38.370]following the 2019 flooding event
- [00:00:41.610]to look at what we knew we didn't know.
- [00:00:46.380]We've worked with them
- [00:00:47.812]to provide information on floodplain awareness,
- [00:00:51.690]and it'll help us with credits
- [00:00:53.472]for the community rating system.
- [00:00:55.980]And the more credits you have
- [00:00:57.300]with the community rating system,
- [00:00:59.160]the bigger discounts we're able to provide
- [00:01:01.072]on flood insurance for our area residents.
- [00:01:04.200]It feels good knowing that the work you're doing
- [00:01:06.570]actually contributes back to the local economy.
- [00:01:09.180]Whether you're a resident or not of that community,
- [00:01:11.430]you are having a direct impact into these people's lives,
- [00:01:13.920]not just for today, but for the decades to come,
- [00:01:15.840]the years to come.
