Flagstaff is holding meetings for residents affected by flooding from past wildfires. The community meetings on Oct. 30 and Nov. 2 will cover ongoing flood control projects, models of what’s next for flood-prone areas and winter preparations.

The Oct. 30 meeting is specifically for those in the Coconino Estates and Coyote Springs neighborhoods, set for 5:30–7 p.m. at Flagstaff City Hall council chambers.

The Nov. 2 meeting is specifically for those in the Paradise, Grandview and Sunnyside neighborhoods, also set for 5:30–7 p.m. at Flagstaff City Hall council chambers.
