The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has announced the allocation of $150 million through the Resilient Florida Program to support efforts against flooding and hurricane impacts. The funding will be used for 26 infrastructure projects across the state, including 22 new projects and four that are ongoing.
According to DEP Secretary Alexis A. Lambert, “The Resilient Florida Program is turning planning into action. These grants will equip Florida’s communities to better withstand impacts from flooding, storm surge and hurricanes, advancing on-the-ground efforts to safeguard Florida’s natural resources and infrastructure.”
The program focuses on strengthening community infrastructure throughout the state by targeting critical areas such as transportation corridors, emergency services, and natural resources. It also emphasizes coastal management solutions like hardened shorelines, wetland restoration, and vegetative barriers that act as defenses against storm surge and flooding.
Since it began, the Resilient Florida Program has invested over $1.8 billion in resilience initiatives for both coastal and inland areas of the state. For Fiscal Year 2025-26, more than $200 million has been allocated statewide for resilience measures.
