Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, H.R. 5343, the FEMA Caseworker Accountability Act, requires the Federal Emergency Management Agency to examine their case management turnover rates and the average length of employment for employees detailed to disaster response cases. The goal of H.R. 5343 is to reduce the turnover rates for FEMA employees who have been detailed to disaster recovery. Consistent turnover only hurts disaster victims as it can prolong the recovery process, especially for small rural communities. Madam Speaker, I urge support of this legislation, and I reserve the balance of my time.
