Bunny Friend Neighborhood Association partnered with City of New Orleans, Marais, WaterWise Gulf South Collective to gather resident feedback on neighborhood flooding during rain events. This community-driven data is essential to improving drainage systems and building a more flood-resilient Upper 9th Ward.
Bunny Friend Neighborhood Association partnered with WaterWise Gulf South Collective to engage Upper 9th Ward residents in a vital community initiative focused on flood awareness and drainage solutions. During the event, neighbors were invited to share information about whether or not their block experiences flooding during rain events. This valuable, firsthand data will help identify problem areas, strengthen advocacy for improved infrastructure, and guide future projects that make our neighborhood more resilient.

Together, Bunny Friend and WaterWise Gulf South Collective are working to create a safer, stronger, and better-prepared Upper 9th Ward for generations to come.
