The task force will present its recommendations for immediate action to reduce risks from floods, plus a long-term resiliency plan to the public next week. Village President Vincent Seeley said the plan includes zoning recommendations for the waterfront, bank stabilization advice and the creation of a handbook containing information on steps to take in the event of a flood.
