The Weekly Catch

How to get disaster aid for flood damage, the future of Misquamicut Beach, the limits of R.I. public records law, and more


Listen Later

FEMA workers are in Rhode Island to help homeowners who suffered damage during the storms in December and January. What exactly will they help you recover? We’ll get you those answers. Also, speaking of flooding, the folks who live and work on Misquamicut Beach know all too well the challenges of storm floods and rising seas. Looking long term, they want the government to renourish their beaches. And we hear one journalist’s experience trying to access data from Rhode Island’s government. We take a look at the limits of the current public records law. Plus we’ll hear about a print show that highlights the immigrant experience, we’ll have reviews of three different plays you can see right now, and Ian Donnis has the latest in local politics.
