Maintain robust FEMA funding for disaster preparedness

It is critical that we ensure FEMA maintains adequate funding and resources to effectively respond to natural disasters and emergencies across the nation. Proposed budget cuts and policy changes threaten to undermine FEMA's ability to coordinate disaster relief efforts, provide vital assistance to impacted communities, and support long-term recovery initiatives. These shortsighted measures jeopardize public safety and leave vulnerable populations at heightened risk during times of crisis. We cannot afford to weaken our country's disaster preparedness and response capabilities. Robust funding and strong leadership are essential for FEMA to fulfill its crucial mission of protecting lives and property when disaster strikes. Prioritizing FEMA's vital role is a matter of national security and should be a top priority.
