We have to have a plan that is robust, coordinated, and humane and dignified.
I do think we have to take these lessons learned into a coordinated, whole-of-government approach, turn it into an action plan, like digitiz...
I do appreciate your commitment to increasing funding for FEMA's Nonprofit Security Grant Program.
How can we ensure that funding reaches all communities and not just the largest communities?
I look forward to working with you, again offline, on changes we can make to the FMAG program.
Can you commit to having FEMA work with my team and see how we can build flexibility for State officials?
Thank you, a great start to the conversation already.
We must ensure that the resources provided by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act reach our Native communities.
I am so glad to hear that.
Wonderful. That is great to hear. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
This program is life changing for so many Tribal communities.
I also want to thank Vice Chair Senator Murkowski for allowing me to speak today.
It is the same thing I hear from the tribes in Nevada as well. That is good news.
It is the same thing I hear in my State, in our rural communities and our tribal communities as well.
Congress should really look at this situation, these State laws, and consider excluding tribal colleges and tribal lands from any State laws...
We have heard similarly from Senator Murkowski as well.
Would the Department agree with this assessment from the tribes and would it support the ability to waive this requirement?
