After the Floods tells the dramatic story of a small town grappling with environmental risk in the aftermath of two devastating "thousand-year floods." When the waters had receded, Ellicott City found itself facing difficult questions: What can we know about future risks to our communities? What is the meaning of place and history when preservation goals come into conflict with flood protection? What should we protect? Who gets to speak for the community? In Ellicott City's search for answers, we can find important lessons for other small communities that must begin preparing for future climate risks.
