St. Pete residents can share storm damage, flooding concerns with state and federal reps

The Resilience Community Listening Session will be held Tuesday evening at the Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital Research and Education Building.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Recent storms have hit some areas of St. Petersburg particularly hard, leaving residents with serious flooding and wind damage.

To better prepare the city for the next storm, officials are inviting those who live in high flood-risk areas to share their feedback and concerns with agencies all the way up to the federal level.

St. Pete Mayor Ken Welch will host a Resilience Community Listening Session from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 13, at the Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital Research and Education Building.

Brandi Gabbard, St. Petersburg City Council member and Vice Chair of the Tampa Bay Regional Resiliency Coalition, will be hosting alongside the mayor.

The session is open to the public, so seating will be limited. Those who plan to attend are asked to pre-register at stpete.org/Resilience. During the registration, residents will be able to provide input in advance to ensure the session is informative and comprehensive.

Attendees can park in the Patient and Family Parking Garage (the North Garage on 5th Street) across the street from the building.
