The Republican budget proposal to reduce funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is deeply concerning. Cutting FEMA's resources would hamper its ability to effectively respond to natural disasters and emergencies, putting American lives and communities at risk. History has shown that a well-funded and prepared FEMA is crucial for rapid response and recovery efforts during crises. As representatives, we urge you to reject these misguided cuts and instead increase FEMA's budget to bolster its capacity to protect our nation's citizens in times of need. Ensuring FEMA has robust funding is an investment in public safety and resilience.
