Issue Position: Mitigation

Issue Position

A comprehensive resilience system needs to be developed as an effective tool to prevent erosion and mitigate storm surge risks. By way of example, the state typically funds a portion of beach nourishment projects today as a match to federal funds. However, due to uncertainty of federal funds in the future, while I was in the NC Senate, I fought to establish a storm damage mitigation and beach nourishment fund at the state level. I will continue to fight for legislation that focuses on coastal erosion and storm mitigation.
