Senate Joint Resolution 1505, sponsored by Roberts, commemorates the dedication of a memorial honoring the victims of the devastating Waverly flood that occurred on August 21, 2021. This flood was one of the deadliest in Tennessee's history, resulting in the loss of twenty lives and causing catastrophic damage across several counties, particularly Humphreys County, which received an unprecedented 17.06 inches of rain. In remembrance of those who perished, the residents of Waverly have erected a memorial that honors the names of the victims.

The resolution designates August 21st as a Day of Remembrance in Waverly, allowing the community to reflect on the tragedy and pay tribute to the lives lost. The Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Tennessee express their solidarity with the residents of Waverly in this observance and commemorate the dedication of the memorial. An appropriate copy of the resolution will be prepared for presentation, ensuring that the memory of the victims is preserved.
