Designing Flood
Resiliency
Cecily Mui
The power of water is still a vivid memory
for many who experienced the Front Range Flood in 2013. Immediately following
the flood, communities mobilized to bring people back to their homes and quickly
repair flood damages. However, resiliency to future floods requires comprehensive
planning and public education. Cecily Mui will share with you some of the long
term flood recovery and resiliency efforts communities have taken to minimize future
flood damages. These techniques include bioengineering, floodplain benching,
and overflow channels. These recovery efforts also create opportunities to
repair river systems that have long been impaired.
Cecily Mui is the Watershed
Coordinator at the Saint Vrain Watershed Coalition. There she uses her skills
in natural areas management and restoration to manage and facilitate flood
recovery projects.
