Impact analysis
Expect another round of costly home repairs, business interruptions, and strain on city budgets already stretched by Matthew.
Contractors, emergency responders, and recovery agencies may see more work, but the real benefit would be stronger flood defenses for residents.
Residents in flood-prone neighborhoods, especially low-income homeowners and renters, bear the brunt through displacement, property loss, and repeated recovery stress.
