The levees, the reservoirs, the canals ...

In terms of natural disasters, says Lois Henry from SJVWater, flood damage is the most destructive, because it is the longest lasting.
"It's more than just repairing or addressing infrastructure," Henry said. "The levees, the reservoirs, the canals ... The problem is that we're not doing anything about our practices, policies and information."
"There's no communication and no coordination," she said. "That's probably not going to end well."
