Ep: 126 - Flooded Out? Inside Rhode Island’s First Buyback Program for At-Risk Homes
This week on Environmentally Speaking, Marisa and Clarice dive into a timely and critical topic—Rhode Island's first-ever buyback program for flood-prone homes along the Pocasset River.
With increased flooding due to climate change and rising sea levels, federal and local agencies are stepping in with a solution: offering homeowners fair market value to relocate away from flood-risk zones. But with limited funding and over 100 vulnerable properties, is this just a drop in the bucket?
In this episode:
Why this program is launching now
How the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is involved
The impact on communities in Cranston and Johnston
Whether homeowners are getting a fair deal
Questions about long-term funding and flood prevention
