Did we mention that you can get CEU's for nearly all education programs? Check out the education program here: https://lnkd.in/gpGr3MZG

After a flood, you're left with debris, from riverbed silt to tree limbs and more from the rising tides. What do you do with it? Do you put it back in the river? Sell it to local vendors? Use it to regrade your flooded park?

Alysen Abel, P.E., MPA spoke today at the Solid Waste Summit about the timeframe of recovery and lessons learned from the 2019 Parkville floods (and sharing those lessons with other public works pros via the APWA Reporter). Alysen was one of six incredible speakers at today's Solid Waste Summit!
