From the Waterfront

Summary

...Over the following weeks, I received calls from FEMA and the National Park Service, who wanted to see the bungalows and the bay houses that survived. The staff of these large agencies were as curious as I was as to why the bungalows showed little damage. From that point on, they recommended that residents begin planting beach grass to create dunes, a scene we saw happening throughout coastal communities in the following months.
