A new report by the Army Corps of Engineers is warning state and coastal residents that they need to rethink their policies involving the coastline in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.
For Delaware, the report says, there are two high risk areas.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that these include the shoreline of the Delaware River and Bay as well as the resort areas of the Inland Bays.
During Superstorm Sandy the worst flood damage occurred on the bay sides of Fenwick Island, South Bethany Beach, Bethany Beach and Dewey Beach following the hurricane.
In addition the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge will spend $40 million on plug large areas where the Delaware Bay surged into the adjacent marsh and created new inlets.
