According to the FHWA May 31, 2019 press release, the agency is coordinating with state department of transportation officials in the affected areas and stands ready to assist impacted states with any emergency relief needs they have, including funding, detour routes and any technical assistance for bridge and/or roadway repairs after water recedes. Damages to roads and bridges caused by recent storms and flooding over the first half of 2019 are among the costliest in recent memory. Since January, FHWA officials directed $54.9 million in quick release funds to help states repair roads and bridges nationwide -- roughly three times higher than the $19.8 million awarded during the same period last year. Weather is increasingly unpredictable with growing numbers of tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and lightening-induced fires wreaking havoc and destruction to everyone and everything in their path. When planning ahead for such events, it is imperative to include a recovery plan, as well as a emergency prep plan.
