“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…In terms of sheer funding, Senate Bill 1638 is one of the most significant achievements in flood resilience. The bill uses recurring revenue from the Seminole Gaming Compact to fund several environmental programs, including the Resilient Florida grant program, the state’s signature fund for resilience.” |
