Following the October 2021 Tidal Flooding 116 families required assistance. There was no federal disaster declaration and because of that residents didn't qualify for individual assistance (IA). The financial burden has fallen on volunteer organizations and homeowners. 2/
@ChrisGloninger That makes me think about the parts of Hampton beach built in what was marshland. Chronic flooding now.
