Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–July 30, 2013. In the wake of the damages in Hawaii from Tropical Storm Flossie, the Center for American Progress is urging the federal government to significantly increase its investments in community resiliency from extreme weather events to protect their people, homes, and businesses from tropical storms, floods, droughts, heat waves, and wildfires. President Barack Obama includes a resilience plank in his Climate Action Plan, but it lacks significant additional resources to help communities better withstand future extreme weather.
