Impact analysis
The city and residents are looking at steep costs—emergency response, damaged homes and businesses, and expensive infrastructure repairs—while recovery aid and insurance will determine who can rebuild.
Recovery contractors, residents who qualify for federal or state aid, and neighborhoods that get rebuilt infrastructure could benefit from the response.
Flood victims—especially low-income homeowners, renters, and small businesses—bear the immediate losses and face a harder recovery.
