Stop letting people in this administration say they want to make changes to FEMA because it will save money/minimize disaster spending. This is not true. One thing we are very sure about in disaster research is that investing in mitigation & preparedness saves us major money in response & recovery.

In other FEMA news, members of Congress re-introduced the bipartisan FEMA Independence Act yesterday, which would remove FEMA from the Department of Homeland Security and make it a cabinet-level independent agency. Here's the full text: d12t4t5x3vyizu.cloudfront.net/moskowitz.ho...

I wrote about disaster recovery in the age of outlandish executive orders. If you live in a city, state, or county that was allocated CDBG-DR, the blog contains a link to a spreadsheet that can help you find the draft plan for your community. blog.ucs.org/zoe-middleto...

This is a good article that does a nice job of explaining what local dispatch centers do. It's unfortunate that it had to be written under these circumstances. There's a lot of specialized equipment and tech in dispatch centers that are not easily moved or replaced. 1/
