Lessons from Sandy

• Financial assistance needs to come quickly and with clear guidelines, but with enough time for states to create thorough action plans

• The National Flood Insurance Program subsidizes risk, which discourages state and local governments and property owners from mitigating risk.

• Align federal policies and programs to reduce risk and restore the health and productivity of coastal resources over the long-term.

• Develop and share data, guidance materials, and decision-support tools to help governments and property owners make forward-thinking decisions.
