Mayor Regenia Bailey lifted the MANDATORY EVACUATION ORDERS after staff had determined the properties met the criteria for re-entry as follows:1. sufficient access for public safety (fire and police)2. low potential for rapid flooding or fast current (e.g. breach of a temporary levy or localized rainfall)3. presence or absence of utilities creates a potential safety riske.g. sewere.g. live powerPersons enter flood affected areas at their own risk.The lifting of any mandatory evacuation order does not ensure the stability of any structure. The potential for multiple hazards still exists in the area (e.g. flood debris, hidden hazards, unstable ground). CONTACT INFORMATION FOR INSPECTIONS IN AREAS NOT SUBJECT TO MANDATORY EVACUATIONAll structures within flood affected areas must be evaluated for both structural and utility integrity prior to re-occupancy. If you are not located in a mandatory evacuated area and wish to schedule an inspection please call the Housing & Inspection Department at 356-5130.
