While Eastern North Carolina is home to incredible coastal resources, our communities remain vulnerable to the impacts of flooding, storms, and other extreme weather. I thank the American Flood Coalition for recognizing me as a Federal Champion and will continue to push for common sense steps that fortify our district from future floods.
