# USACE Conducts Post-Storm Assessments in North Atlantic

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) North Atlantic Division has initiated comprehensive post-storm assessments following a recent Nor’easter that impacted coastal communities across five states in its jurisdiction. These assessments focus on evaluating beach erosion, dune damage, and the condition of coastal storm risk management projects to determine restoration and infrastructure enhancement needs. This activity highlights an urgent procurement and project management focus on accelerating infrastructure resilience initiatives to mitigate future storm impacts.

- The assessments cover key locations including Brooklyn, New York; Ocean City, Maryland; and Bethany Beach, Delaware, reflecting a multi-state operational scope.
- Procurement professionals should anticipate increased demand for coastal restoration contracts and infrastructure repair services aligned with USACE and FEMA priorities.
- This signals opportunities for contractors specializing in civil works, coastal engineering, and storm risk management to engage in upcoming solicitations.
- Agencies and contractors must coordinate closely with USACE North Atlantic Division, led by Brig. Gen. Jesse Curry, and leverage public affairs contacts such as cenad-pao@usace.army.mil for engagement and information.
