Hurricane Hermine Community Meetings

City and County Seek Citizen Feedback

 

Before Sept. 2, 2016, Tallahassee / Leon County had not been struck by a hurricane since 1985, and a hurricane had not made landfall in the State of Florida since 2005. Hurricane Hermine swept through our community as a Category 1 storm, damaging 80 percent of the City’s electric distribution system, bringing down hundreds of trees and creating thousands of tons of debris.

To discuss response and continuing recovery efforts for how the City of Tallahassee and Leon County Government can best meet the needs of the community during future disaster events, five community meetings will be held during the coming weeks.

• Monday, Sept. 19 – Bethel AME, 501 W Orange Avenue
• Wednesday, Sept. 21 – Woodville Community Center, 8000 Old Woodville Road
• Thursday, Sept. 22 – Eastside Branch Library, 1583 Pedrick Road
• Monday, Sept. 26 – Fire Station #4, 2899 West Pensacola Street
• Tuesday, Sept. 27– St. Peter’s Anglican Church, 4784 Thomasville Road

Each meeting will start at 6 p.m. Staff will give a 30-minute presentation to provide an overview of the disaster. Following the presentation, the floor will be given to attendees. Feedback from residents will be used to enhance future response efforts.

If you are unable to attend one of the community dialogue sessions but would like to provide input, comments can be sent to Hermine@Talgov.com.
