Climate change has been the cause of immeasurable damage over the last few decades, and there is no end in sight. In addition to the tragic loss of lives, natural disasters have impacted at least some part of the infrastructure in every region of the country. To halt the devastation, the federal government has allocated massive amounts of funding for repair, remediation, and sustainability projects.
Cleaning up, repairing, and replacing public assets after weather-related disasters is costly, and launching sustainability projects for protection against future disasters is often even more costly. But, with new funding available, there now exists a plan to reverse what has become the norm. The projects about to launch will require public-private sector collaboration throughout America.
