Senator Welch calls on Congress to address FEMA's operational mismanagement, emphasizing the need for disaster recovery improvements.
Quiver AI Summary
Senator Peter Welch has responded to a warning issued by over 180 FEMA employees regarding concerns over the agency's operational management, which they believe could jeopardize disaster responses. He stated, "Brave FEMA employees are sounding the alarm," calling for systemic improvements and accountability from the leadership within FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security.
The employees' "Katrina Declaration" outlines six key issues they feel undermine FEMA's effectiveness, including the lack of a qualified administrator and cuts to essential funding programs. Welch accused Secretary Kristi Noem of mismanagement, arguing for urgent congressional action to reform FEMA and ensure better preparedness for future disasters.
In response, Welch has introduced the Disaster Assistance Improvement and Decentralization (AID) Act, aimed at streamlining access to disaster assistance for local governments while enhancing hazard mitigation efforts. He emphasized the need for a robust and effective disaster response capability in light of evolving climate challenges.
