## Resource

Dare County’s beaches were disappearing fast, threatening homes and Highway 12—so they took bold action, launching a massive renourishment project without waiting for FEMA help during a government shutdown. A surprise visit from FEMA officials changed everything: they’re now reimbursing the county $30 million to bring in 2 billion cubic yards of sand later this year. While FEMA’s support is huge, repairs to the jetty and cleanup at the old Navy site remain separate—but together, they’re building a stronger, safer future for Hatteras Island.
