November 15, 2022 – Tybee Island is working with UGA’s Institute for Resilient Infrastructure Systems and Thomas & Hutton, the city’s engineering firm, to create a plan that combines natural resilience with human ingenuity to combat “sunny day” flooding through the use of green infrastructure. The proposed plan will build features on the island and surrounding shoreline and marsh that will slow the flow of water toward the island and improve the community’s ability to handle flooding events.
