“Although it was not impacted by super storm Sandy, a small coastal island off of Alabama has become an example for why the federal government should reconsider its rebuild-it-no-matter-what policy, critics contend.
Since 1979, Dauphin Island has been hit by nearly a dozen hurricanes and major storms, including Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Most recently, it was blasted by Hurricane Isaac in August of this year. The community of 1,300 residents has received plenty of help to rebuild houses and infrastructure. In fact, at least $80 million in federal tax dollars has been given to Dauphin Island over the decades.”
