I have lived in Charleston, SC my entire life. Over the past 23 years, I have seen significant changes to our landscape. Flooding has destroyed homes, broken up families, and diminished our quality of life. Instead of fighting the water in a war we will never win, we must learn to live with it. This organization is a contemporary opportunity to have leaders on the local, state, and federal level work together to end the frustration between our residents and mother nature.
