No one should have to choose between evacuating and losing access to lifesaving services and staying and possibly losing their life to a natural disaster.
This must change and I am hopeful that this committee will consider in the coming months legislation to ensure that all people have the fundamental right to remain in their communities and in their homes.
I applaud Chairwoman Schakowsky and Congressman Ryan for their work on the Hot Cars Act.
We applaud the leadership of the chairwoman and other cosponsors in introducing the PARK IT Act and urge Congress to enact it.
