Two years after devastating floods and countless promises from officials, Port Orange residents just discovered their salvation has been postponed. The Cambridge Basin project and Pepper Hill Madeline Pond improvements—critical flood prevention infrastructure—won't begin until 2026, leaving vulnerable neighborhoods exposed through multiple hurricane seasons.

VCU dives deep into the troubling timeline shifts affecting Volusia County's stormwater management. Projects originally slated for completion years ago remain in limbo while residents face the terrifying prospect of repeated flooding. Beyond official plans, the hosts share grassroots mitigation strategies—from French drains to furniture elevation—that residents are implementing while waiting for long-term solutions.

The human toll of these delays cannot be overstated. Residents describe anxiety, financial strain, and the emotional exhaustion of living with uncertainty. Yet through community support and information sharing, they're finding ways to face these challenges together.

Join the conversation on the "Volusia County Uncovered" Facebook page, attend the next Port Orange city commission meeting, and help keep officials accountable for the promises made to protect our communities. Together, we can demand transparency and action for Volusia County's flood-prone neighborhoods.
