It is hurricane season again. And for people in Florida and the Caribbean, this means approaching dread. Both places were pummelled last year by monster storms and both are still struggling to rebuild.

Less than one year ago, this Florida Keys neighborhood was flattened by Hurricane Irma. Out of nearly 3000 severely damaged homes, only a few families were able to rebuild.

LARRY HILL HURRICANE VICTIM "My wife had just inherited a house, a mobile home from her mother, right here, and it's completely gone. The next door neighbor is gone. On this block there are only three habitable houses left, all the others have been blown down completely."

Rebuilding has proven too expensive for most people here. Affordable hurricane-proof housing projects are very much in demand.

MARIANNE CUSATO DESIGNER "People can't afford to live here and the economy is at stake. The servers in the restaurants, the managers, the entire tourism economy which drives people here."

Florida's highly-populated shores are among the most vulnerable in the country. Rising sea level, floods and storm surges represent a growing threat to the millions of homes built along the coastline.

DR. JAYANTHA OBEYSEKERA DIRECTOR OF SEA LEVEL SOLUTIONS AT FIU "The projections are there will be an increase in frequency and intensity of major storms in the future due to climate change. This season there is already a projection of 10 to 16 storms or hurricanes, and probably one to four major storms."

Haunting predictions, which place growing pressure on those working on the ground.

MARTIN SENTERFITT EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR OF MONROE COUNTY "We are more vulnerable now, we have people that are living in RVs and travel trailers waiting for their homes to be repaired, we still have roof damage from Irma, so as we go into the 2018 hurricane season we take that very seriously and we will respond and react much quicker and in a much larger scale then perhaps we normally would've done."

It's been one year since the Trump administration announced its 2020 withdrawal from the Paris agreement on climate change mitigation, a move that so far has raised more questions than offered solutions for many Floridians living on the coasts.
