September 27, 2018asbpa_edbeach nourishment, Coastal Hazards, Dunes, Hurricane, Hurricane Florence, Hurricane Sandy, hurricanes, Resilience, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

As the United States weathers our worst hurricane season in years, and communities in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Island and the Atlantic seaboard try to recover, ASBPA is working to ensure that beaches, dunes, wetlands and coastal resilience are included in whatever emergency funding bill Congress develops.

Hurricanes Harvey and Irma were, and continue to be, life-changing events for millions of Americans. These coastal storms brought devastation far beyond waterfront homes, reminding us that the coastal flood zone can range miles inland.

Some thoughts inspired by Hurricane Matthew: Coastal recovery and research already well under way.
