Board asks whether identifying stormwater problem sites could jeopardize future FEMA aid

During the stormwater master-plan presentation, the board pressed for clarity on whether cataloguing potential problem sites without immediate remediation could affect future disaster assistance. Chair Boomer Walker asked, "If we don't do anything with them right away and we have another catastrophic catastrophic event, is FEMA gonna hold it against us in the fact that when you identified these sites, why don't you do something about them?" He said he was concerned identification could count against towns seeking FEMA reimbursement later.
