If your home flooded during hurricane season last year, you may still be recovering from the damage. 

A lot of neighborhoods flooded as a series of storms impacted the Tampa Bay region- Hurricane Debby, then Helene and soon after that- Milton. 

And it wasn’t just places on the coast. Inland neighborhoods flooded too. 

So- with hurricane season almost here- what are local governments doing to prevent more flooding? And how are people rebuilding? 

WUSF journalists Jessica Meszaros, Kerry Sheridan and Steve Newborn join Florida Matters to discuss their reporting on the ongoing recovery from flooding in communities across the greater Tampa Bay region.
