I have learned so much since the Connecticut River Valley Flood of 1936 was published by talking with historians, environmental scientists, emergency management professionals, academics and others passionate on these issues. I have also discovered that some important details in the printed edition are incorrect and want to be sure that I note them here. If you have an expertise in this area, please don't hesitate to contact me so I can ensure that this work is accurate and represents the history of the people, places and things I have described. Thank you.
