Resilient Florida was created to provide funding to help communities prepare for the impacts of more frequent and severe flooding, but not all who are at risk get the help they need.

A stationary front and deep moisture in the atmosphere will bring several days of heavy showers and thunderstorms, keeping the threat of flash floods across the northern half of Florida this week.

Flash flood risk along Florida's East Coast, as there will be some slow movers. Widespread showers and storms for the beginning of the week. Higher rain chances remain focused over the areas experiencing the worst drought in Florida.

Weeklong rainstorms have battered Chile and killed at least 10 people. Authorities on Tuesday raced to reach more than 100,000 cut off by flash floods in what has been one of the country's worst weather disasters in decades. Torrential rains and strong winds have battered the usually arid northern regions of Atacama and Coquimbo. The government declared a state of disaster on Monday.

Tropical storm Arthur was short lived, lasting only about 6 hours. But forecasters are watching for increased flooding rain and storm chances across parts of Florida later this week.

Anyone who has been through a flood or hurricane knows the scene: waterlogged furniture piled on curbs, gutted homes with mold creeping up the walls, families displaced for months. But the recovery isn’t the same for everyone.

With South Florida's high water table, stormwater can easily mix with groundwater causing pollution to spread from urban areas to Biscayne Bay. Now researchers at Florida International University are investigating how to fix that.

Insurance is supposed to soften the blow when homes burn or flood. With some preparation, you can better your odds of a smoother recovery if disaster strikes.

The Big Dig died Wednesday night, but the end of a mammoth effort to replumb the island in a fight against climate change has left a daunting and costly set of challenges ahead with no clear roadmap as seas continue to rise. The decision means at least $8 million in sunk costs without a shovel ever hitting the ground, officials said.

A look at Florida Easter-April weather extremes, from historic heat and heavy rain to recent April flooding and record warmth.

On a warm January morning, about 30 people from across South Florida gathered on Miccosukee tribal land to explore local culture, history and its environmental challenges. The performance project “A Walk Through Our Neighborhoods,” which has taken place in communities like Overtown and Little Haiti, offers guided tours led by a member of the community being visited that highlight the contributions of Black and minority residents.

A new report questions a fundamental premise of Key Biscayne’s response to climate change, suggesting that a series of limited, localized flooding projects using existing drainage lines may be preferable to the expensive course of action that the island's administration is pursuing.
