Climate Disaster Response Hindered by State Leaders
Local governments in Florida are working to mitigate the effects of climate disasters, but their efforts are being hindered by state leaders.
"We want people to live here safely, and you’re tying our hands."
In Manatee County, commissioners were threatened with removal from office for considering measures to enhance disaster resilience. The measures, which were widely supported, aimed to amend the county's comprehensive plan to better prepare for climate-related disasters.
The county, located on Florida's Gulf Coast, is experiencing rapid growth and is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including flooding and hurricanes. Despite this, state leaders are limiting the ability of local governments to take action.
