Recent legislation strengthens Florida’s leadership in flood resilience | Opinion

As we have seen in recent days, Florida communities are on the front lines of flooding and sea-level rise. As storms increase in frequency and severity every year, these communities are more and more vulnerable to disasters.

Fortunately, state leaders recognize this and are committing investments to flood resilience accordingly. We applaud Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Legislature for unanimously passing bills that boost flood protections and infrastructure for communities and homeowners across the state.
