Val Demings: “Recommendation: Congress should provide FEMA with a waiver of the PRA requirements for fiscal year 2022 and future…”

And remember, we know that 60 percent threshold is not easy. But Florida has seen it before in 2018, with amendment for that gave citizens -- convicted felons, restored their rights so that they would be able to vote.

We are here to discuss communities that are most at-risk during disasters and struggle to recover properly from their effects.

I am proud to have partnered with Chairman Thompson on the FEMA Equity Act to address these flaws in our Federal emergency management system.

I was glad to hear the President grant the major disaster declaration that will certainly help to quickly unlock additional resources.
