House Warming Podcast, Episode 015: Saving A Drowning Town: Fighting Flooding in De Soto with Susan Liley , Citizens' Committee for Flood Relief
In this episode, Sarah talks with Susan about De Soto and the Citizens' Committee for Flood Relief, a group that is working to fight flooding in the historic portion of De Soto.
Susan is Co-Founder of Citizens' Committee for Flood Relief and a passionate community activist. Susan is dedicated to implementing sustainable flood solutions and disaster readiness plans to protect her beloved, historic hometown of DeSoto, MO, which has suffered repeated flooding. She was a member of Anthropocene Alliance's Leadership Council and is an Advisor for Climitgration.
How Susan describes herself:
I have raised my children in De Soto. While being a stay at home mom, I decided to go back and pick up a few college courses. I then worked in several grocery stores and then for the school. My most important job ever was being a mother and grandmother. Then I decided to tackle the problems of other people's flooding. I have fought long and hard to fix this problem, and as I look around the world, it just becomes more intense and I tell myself to fight harder. My years are numbered but my grandkids will have to suffer from mine and others years of neglect.
