Disaster resilience

“Invest in clean energy and resilient infrastructure”

“Peggy believes we need to take action to fight climate change, protect our planet, and invest in climate adaptation.”

“Improve hurricane resilience infrastructure”

“Chris passed the largest climate change legislation in history, the Inflation Reduction Act, and championed vital climate resilience funding in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law so communities in New Hampshire can withstand catastrophic weather events and rebuild their homes, businesses, and infrastructure.”

“And we can better prepare for climate disasters instead of constantly being caught flat-footed when they hit our state. Just in the last decade, Texans have faced historic droughts, devastating wildfires, multiple “500-year” floods, and one of the deadliest winter storms in our state’s history — which killed hundreds of our fellow Texans. That kind of incompetence in the face of increasingly frequent climate disasters is completely unacceptable — and I will do everything in my power to ensure Texans never face the consequences of that level of unpreparedness ever again.”

“Prepare for extreme weather events and support those impacted by them: Cut red tape so more Texans can benefit from the Department of Energy’s Weatherization Assistance Program, expand eligibility for FEMA’s Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program to help fortify at-risk homes and businesses, and more effectively provide assistance after disasters like Hurricane Harvey instead of leaving families in crisis.”

“Strengthened Texas’ response to climate hazards by appropriating funds for disaster relief and preparedness.”

“Washington must do a better job helping communities recover while also investing in the infrastructure that protects our coast, waterways, and economy.”
