Nashville Flood After Action Report
The Nashville Flood 2010 After Action Report is now available.
The historic May 2010 flood is graded as a greater than 1,000 year flood; an event so rare there is only a one-tenth of one-percent chance of one occurring in a given year (source: National Weather Service). The consistent reference to this general term when describing the May 2010 flood correctly underscores the extreme low probability of future occurrences, however, such reference must not lull our community or its leaders into the belief that such an occurrence will not happen again in their lifetime. Indeed this event can occur at any time when a series of natural weather events replicate those of May 1 and 2 of 2010.
