The awards announced today will support 26 infrastructure projects across the state, including 22 newly authorized projects and four ongoing projects.  

“The Resilient Florida Program is turning planning into action,” said DEP Secretary Alexis A. Lambert. “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 Resilient Florida Program provides a strategic, statewide approach to fortifying Florida’s community infrastructure against the impacts of hurricanes, flooding and severe weather, focusing on protecting infrastructure, transportation corridors, emergency services and natural resources. In addition to investments in physical infrastructure, the program also prioritizes coastal management solutions, including the use of hardened shorelines, wetland restoration and vegetative barriers, which also serve as invaluable natural defenses against storm surge and flooding.  

Since its inception, the Resilient Florida Program has invested more than $1.8 billion to enhance Florida’s coastal and inland resilience. For Fiscal Year 2025-26, Florida has committed more than $200 million toward statewide resilience.
