During the lead-up to the most recent storm on Dec. 11, the Provincetown Department of Public Works deployed its newly acquired flood barriers as part of The Provincetown Pilot Program for flood control.

The town’s new barriers, known as Mayim Flood Barriers, by Garrison Flood Control, are interlocking L-shaped plastic panels designed to mitigate community flooding. The DPW purchased the Mayim Flood Barriers because of their purported effectiveness, stackability, and ease of storage, said DPW Director, Jim Vincent. The barriers were deployed in about 10 minutes.

DPW Director Jim Vincent said he first heard about the new barrier design from Bradford Street homeowner Jeanmarie Kaeselau, who is part of the neighborhood group that has formed a coalition to prepare for storms. Other neighbors including Marc Guerrette and Quinn Taylor were on hand to help set up and advise on barrier placement.

It was the dept.’s first time erecting the barriers on town property, and the successful effort served as a “dry run” to slow down floodwaters, said Assistant Town Manager Dan Riviello.
