Craig Fugate: “I hope that we can all agree that funding for disaster relief should never be held hostage to political ideology.”

We have to really be stringent in making sure that we rebuild to much higher standards, not just put it back the way it was.

We need to get stronger building codes and land use planning, and then we need to start looking at--it will not be an equal impact with climate change across the country.

The most important thing is we`ve got to quit rebuilding stuff the way it was in these disasters and build it back for the future, and focus on the risk we`re facing, not what we`ve been facing in the past.

We’ve got to stop looking backwards. The whole idea of a 100 year event is it’s something that’s a one percent risk based on weather patterns in the past.
