The newly produced documentary “Flood of Memories” will be shown in the Romance Theater to showcase the many volunteers who helped with the recovery after the Teton Dam disaster. Alisha Tietjen, curator at the Teton Flood Museum, will make a brief presentation about the events of the flood and the impact of response teams. In addition, those in attendance will kick off the “500 CERTified“. During the event, a key agenda item will be to discuss how to best grow the number of CERT volunteers to reach the goal.
