Lightening Bolt Struck in a Cubicle

I just had an idea.
Would it be possible to do pre-climate change research by:
1. finding a poor urban area likely to be affected by global warming, either fisheries (economics, natural resources) rising tides or even increased likelihood of hurricanes
2. partner with community to make preventative measures against likely events to come in future. Of course it's difficult to predict the future. But we can try, for this hypothetical purpose at least.
--You could even do this in New Orleans, possibly?

Now THE question: Could this get funded? Is there any likelihood of getting funding for the "pre-emergent" as opposed to the gaping wounds that plague the groaning world of today?
