# Flood Mitigation Plan Committee & Public Kick-Off Meetings | October 15, 2026


**Body:** Town of Cutler Bay

The Town of Cutler Bay’s Flood Mitigation Plan Committee meeting and public kick-off, held October 15, 2026, reviewed the ongoing five-year plan update, including its hazard identification and risk assessment. The WSP consultant and town staff presented data on flooding, hurricanes, sea-level rise, critical facilities, and drainage problem areas, and discussed the preliminary flood maps expected to take effect in February 2027. The public survey had received 28 responses; participants were encouraged to provide further input on local risks and mitigation ideas. The committee also discussed public outreach audiences and materials, retaining the existing outreach topics and adding faith-based organizations as a potential audience. Members agreed to eliminate the localized stormwater-flooding target area from the public information program because it changes over time and overlaps with other target areas.

The town described existing and potential mitigation work, including drainage projects and longer-term infrastructure planning, and noted that organized critical-facility data can support future FEMA grant applications. The consultant will share the draft risk assessment and meeting materials for committee review and public comment; a subsequent meeting was tentatively planned for November. No contract award, bid approval, procurement decision, specific spending allocation, or formal vote was identified in the transcript.
