West Virginia braces for another devastating flood, with north central regions hit hard—two lives lost, homes destroyed—just a decade after the 2016 disaster that claimed nearly 25 lives. Though a Flood Resiliency Office was formed in the aftermath, years of underfunding left it toothless until this year’s $5 million injection—lawmakers say it’s a drop in the bucket. With climate change intensifying storms and a quarter of critical infrastructure at risk, the debate rages: are we prioritizing people? Solutions include dam repairs, debris cleanup, and better early warnings, while lawmakers weigh a special session against regular budget fixes—and state officials urgently seek federal help to prevent repeat delays.
