The U.S. Department of the Interior's Hurricane Sandy Coastal Resilience Grant Program will fund a variety of projects to protect communities at risk from future big storms like the October 2012 event that pummeled the East Coast.
The money comes from a Sandy relief bill passed by Congress.
"We know we have a lot to learn from Mother Nature," Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said Monday. "Climate change is going to make weather events more frequent and more severe."

If they think they're actually gonna prevent storms......
And just like the Sandy relief funds, half of this money will be wasted, or stolen.
146 who said anything even close to what you are implying? Reading is fundamental
Looks like very little of this has anything to do with relief after the storm. It looks more like a big waste to make the fish happy. Did Blackwater get hit as hard as Crisfield? I dont think so.
Yeah, leave Crisfield out of it to be vulnerable for the next storm. Real smucking fart.
We have local people who could write a check out to match that amount.Insignificant at best when divided up among so many states.
