Also, as the Gulf Coast region enters the middle of this year’s hurricane season, attendees had the opportunity to hear how the city of Galveston handled the clean up and restoring of services to residences and businesses in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike that devastated much of the island in September of 2008. Guest speaker Eric Wilson, managing director of Municipal Infrastructure, city of Galveston, TX, focused particularly on the sewer and water recovery that occurred after the hurricane.
