Nice summary by Brady Dennis and Harry Stevens from a week back. It really is staggering to look at the number of repeat damage homes (46,000). The trick is that many of these properties are primary residences for working class folks. I promise you, they don't take that flooding lightly. We are spending tens of billions of dollars on "resilience" and yet, the number of repeat damage homes continues to rise. That should tell us something. Maybe instead of another beach nourishment project or living shoreline, we should take more of that resilience money and give it as direct grants to families with demonstrated need living in their primary residence. In some places, elevation may be the solution. In others, moving would be the best option, but it needs to be done in a way that will not make them less flood vulnerable but more socially vulnerable. I still don't think we do a good job of connecting the dots between all that resilience spending and actually helping those who most need to help. #PSDS #floodvulnerability #maladaptation #FEMA #environmentaljustice
