Nature-based solutions for adaptation can be 2-5x more cost-effective than “gray” infrastructure such as dams and seawalls. By working with nature, not against it, infrastructure projects could save billions per year—and result in greater social benefits and avoided losses.

As part of its Coastal Storm Risk Management mission, JaxStrong engineers assess beaches after Hurricane Ian. Water breached the dune at the Vilano Beach in St. Johns County, but A1A remained intact. @MyFDOT placed stone and sandbags to protect the road. #Ian #HurricaneIan

🌀 The Division is monitoring a tropical wave near the Lesser Antilles that will move toward Florida later this week. ➡️ While it's too soon to determine track & impacts, Floridians should begin reviewing their disaster plans and ensure their disaster supply kits are stocked.

Today, I met with @SFWMD ED Drew Bartlett and board member @_thurlow to survey the efforts underway at Pahokee Marina. The use of innovative tech to mitigate algal blooms is one of the state’s multifaceted approaches to protecting Florida’s water resources. #ProtectingFLTogether

The good news is that the forecast for the 2021 hurricane shows a fraction of the storms & hurricanes seen in 2020. The bad news is that it would still be 40% more active than normal. 17 storms, 8 hurricanes, 4 major in 2021 per ⁦@philklotzbach⁩. nbcmiami.com/weather/hurrica…

1/2: Resiliency has been a top priority of mine for >10 years. I will continue to fight for a more resilient Florida, from HB325-Coastal Managment in 2018 or HB315-Resiliency this year.
