Efforts are ongoing to repair homes and businesses, clean-up yards, deter trespassers, and foil looters. If you need help in these areas or if you wish to volunteer to help others in these areas, please go to our Community Connection page, where we are trying to match up volunteers with those in need.

Sand replenishment on our beach would have moderated and likely prevented the damage to bayfront properties, like that shown in these photos. For information about efforts to gain government support for sand replenishment on Chesapeake Beach, please select this link: Sand Replenishment on Chesapeake Beach.
