Chief Resilience Officer

Gov. DeSantis wants to spend more than a quarter of a billion dollars on what he calls resilience projects. But will they protect communities against the threat from climate change?

The retirements of the leaders of the Department of Corrections and the Department of Elder Affairs had not been previously announced.

Florida's resilience officer left early last year. Now, Gov. Ron DeSantis's office says it no longer has a dedicated chief science officer either.
