Fulton seeks public input on hazard mitigation plan update

September 17, 2020 Atlanta: Peter Von Wismar walks back up his driveway after putting the recyclables out curbside where Peachtree Battle had to be closed at Woodward Way after Peachtree Creek rose from its banks in Atlanta. Remnants of Hurricane Sally, that downgraded to a tropical depression, moved through North Georgia on Thursday, Sept. 17, 2020. Heavy rain and flooding brought trees down and made a mess of the Thursday morning commute and knocked out power to thousands. By mid-day, Fulton, DeKalb and Gwinnett counties received between 2 and 4 inches of rain, and the Southside, between 1 and 3 inches. Areas like this would be identified in Fulton's updated Hazard Mitigation Plan. (John Spink / John.Spink@ajc.com)
