Nothing that will be fixed this year. More funding needed this year or things will be cut.

Thank you, my friend Lt Col Charlie Brown
1. To be honest, I think that Tyndall Air Force Base in the Florida Panhandle which was hit hard by Hurricane Michael in October 2018 probably would need significant rebuilding of infrastructure, etc.
2. I am less convinced about the impact of seasonal flooding at Offutt Air Force Base in eastern Nebraska. Yes the flooding was much higher than typical resulted in "about one-third of Offutt Air Force Base being underwater earlier this month as flooding hit large swaths of the Midwest."
Hurricane and tornado dame is much more significant than seasonal flooding. I would hope that (1) infrastructure changes at Offutt Air Force Base would be evaluated to reduce the impact of future flooding and (2) considerations of cost/benefits to relocate the base over the next 7 year construction cycle.
Thank you, my friend TSgt Joe C. for mentioning me.

Lt Col Charlie Brown
I am also concerned about family housing which has been impacted at several other bases. Not sure what's happening at Offutt
