 As our area sees more storms this winter due to El Niño, residents and businesses are reminded to report damages to homes and businesses. This means if your home or business does flood, please document any damage, and DO NOT clean up evidence of flood, in particular water lines as they are highly useful for determining flood levels.
Residents and business owners are asked to report damages at https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/3549976c61cf4f73a8910a9273107270?fbclid=IwAR0s98hTzHxYiC9NxBcIUe35vG0XWCty2Mml-LzFfUKnYq3va3GfWDbkxs0
Be sure to include photos like waterline marks inside of the home, or physical damage to your home. Please note: You will still have to report damages to your insurance company for a claim should there be damage to private property.

 The city of Treasure Island invites the community to learn about Elevate T.I., Treasure Island’s Terrain Modification Program. This innovative program will provide the framework to require the use of fill material when redeveloping, essentially removing the city’s existing no-fill policies. The website explains the reason for the program and its proposed implementation.
To gain a better understanding of the community’s view on the subject, the city has added a survey button to the top of the webpage. CLICK HERE to take the survey. In the next few weeks, two videos will be added to the website to help explain the program further – the videos will also be posted to the city’s social media accounts. The first video will highlight why action is needed and the second will explain how Treasure Island will elevate organically as redevelopment occurs over time.
