Three of our Underwood Hills families practiced their home fire drills this past Sunday with the help of the firefighters from Station 23. They prepared their exit strategies in case of fire and refined them with suggestions from the experts. It was a great learning experience! Thanks to our wonderful firefighters!!!! If you would like to have the Underwood Hills Emergency Response Operation and the firefighters help you with your home fire drill, contact Cynthia Williams at safety@underwoodhills.org. Pictured: Laura Stevenson and the Stevenson and Vollmer girls with the “friendly firefighter”.

UHNA’s only mandate is to ‘improve the quality of life of all residents in Underwood Hills’. What this means is defined entirely be the residents- those who become members and engage. We advocate for the neighborhood’s best interests on topics such as traffic, safety, utility works, liquor licenses, zoning permits, etc, by providing access to information, promoting discourse among residents, and representing the neighborhood’s position to elected representatives. All Underwood Hills residents are welcome at UHNA social events, such as the spring social, food truck Fridays, playgroup, kilometer kids, and volunteer events such as park cleanups and other events planned by the teen committee. What is Atlanta’s Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)? What are the City of Atlanta’s plans to refresh the CDP with the “Atlanta for All” process? How can updating the CDP help us to get more affordable and abundant housing? Join us on Tuesday, February 27th for a conversation about all things Comprehensive Development Planning. During this time, we’ll dig into the importance of this document, and how it can support our pro-housing agenda. Note: This is a virtual event. Zoom details will be shared upon RSVP.
Citizen Science trained and certified volunteers with Adopt-a-stream conduct monthly chemical and bacterial, and quarterly macro invertebrate testing of the stream in Underwood Hills Park, a tributary of Peachtree Creek and one of thousands of sites throughout the country administered by the EPA. The latest chemical and bacterial testing revealed elevated levels of e-coli (~20,000cfu/100mL). Safe levels are <300cfu This kind of outbreak is usually associated with animal feces polluting the stream, either from pets, faulty septic systems or sewerage leaks. Please always pick up after your pets in the park, and even in your own backyard. Persons with open wounds should avoid contact with the water, and all park users should be sure to wash after contact, especially before eating. If you’d like to be involved in local citizen science contact UHNA>
