At
approximately 4:15pm on the afternoon of June 22, 2006, a severe weather
event besieged the City of Twinsburg and surrounding areas. In short time,
many of the roads in low lying areas began to fill with water. Off duty
emergency personnel were called back to work and Fire Chief Rick Racine
activated the City’s Emergency Operation Center. Activation of the EOC
brought together the Mayor and key personnel to oversee and gain control
over this large scale emergency.
Impassible streets were barricaded and an evacuation center was
established along with standby transportation. Fortunately, the heavy rain
conditions abated by 7:00pm and the evacuations were not required. At
7:45pm EOC operations were terminated.
Since this storm the City has launched a determined effort to address
future storm water management concerns in Twinsburg. Along with numerous
meetings with citizens, the City Administration has established this
website to help address your flooding concerns.
