These programs exist in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and the Gulf Coast states; Maryland does not have a beach plan.](http://www.baltimoresun.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-08/64362937-30130206.jpg "Luckily, the damage from Hurricane Irene was much less than the dire pre-storm predictions.
