Mingo County Flood Study Begins

About this episode

Mingo County initiates a FEMA-funded study to address chronic flooding through community input and expert collaboration.

Mingo County is tackling its chronic flood crisis with a new FEMA-funded study designed to turn community pain points into practical solutions. After last year’s devastating floods cut families off for days, residents are finally being heard—by engineers and conservation experts collaborating to map flood hotspots and test mitigation strategies. This isn’t just about data; it’s about lived experience shaping real change. Through resident feedback, watershed analysis, and predictive modeling, the team aims to build defenses that protect homes, businesses, and future growth—because as one supervisor warned, the current situation can’t sustain safety or progress in the face of worsening weather.
