Join the Santa Venetia Neighborhood Association (SVNA) for our upcoming Community Meeting where we welcome Marin County Staff and a local Surveyor to talk about FEMA, flooding, and related issues.

The presentation by Hannah Lee and Bene Da Silva from the Marin County Flood Control & Water Conservation District, Department of Public Works will include:

• ·       What does the County do to keep storm drains clear, including annual leaf sweeping and drain cleaning.
• ·       What can private property owners do with their own leaves to help prevent drains from clogging.
