Regional Stormwater Evaluation
Regional Stormwater Evaluation
Hillsborough County is evaluating its stormwater systems to identify opportunities to strengthen the region’s flood resiliency. A series of public meetings are being held as part of a Regional Stormwater Evaluation effort aimed at assessing the cumulative flooding impacts from seasonal rainfall and Hurricanes Debby, Helene, and Milton.
The goal of the meetings is to provide information and data about how recent and repeated storm events have stressed infrastructure, impacted neighborhoods, and altered natural drainage patterns across the county and neighboring communities. It is also an opportunity for residents to share concerns, provide feedback, and learn about potential solutions. Residents can provide input virtually from April 15, 2025 to May 23, 2025.
Project Overview
An independent, multi-agency, and regional effort is underway to evaluate the cumulative flooding impacts of seasonal rainfall and Hurricanes Debby, Helene, and Milton.
The major objectives of this project are:
- Analyzing flooding impacts
- Evaluating stormwater needs
- Developing recommendations for improvements
Flooding Focus Areas
As a result of the assessment, areas that experienced unprecedented flooding impacts have been identified. These focus areas may require targeted strategies for improvement.
Public Meetings
These public meetings are an effort to evaluate the extent of the damage, explore regional flood mitigation, and develop resiliency strategies. All meetings are open to the public.
