From The Hill: Congress must make America more resilient to increasingly devastating disasters. 

“Get ready. As we head into hurricane season, fire season and flood season, which are all worsening because the planet is warming, our federal government is not equipped to help you prepare for, escape from, or respond to the disaster. In fact, there is apparently no plan in writing for how the federal government will respond to disasters this year.

According to an internal review, the Federal Emergency Management Agency isn’t ready to help Americans this year, and if President Trump has any say in the matter, it will never be ready. Trump plans to dismantle the agency entirely by December. And even if he’s not serious about dismantling FEMA and instead opts for reforming it, the cuts to the agency have already been disastrous.”
