The severity of these issues show the weaknesses in our drinking water infrastructure and how important it is for our drinking water systems to be more resilient to extreme weather and climate change.

Environmental impacts from this season's hurricanes have wreaked havoc and continue to threaten public health in serious and unacceptable ways.

This lack of electricity puts lives at risk, and must be addressed.

The Federal Government's response to these hurricanes has been disorganized and in the instance of both Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands it has been too little and too late and we must step up our efforts.

Five years ago, Superstorm Sandy caused major damage to my congressional district including Superfund sites and water treatment facilities and we have seen even more of that with the latest hurricanes.

Several of these dangerous sites were damaged during this hurricane season, and we are still struggling to understand the health impacts of that damage.

Do you think that we could do more to protect--could EPA do more to protect public health from exposure to toxic sites after severe weather strikes or, again, this is just simply fixing damage?

I think we should be doing more to limit the impact of severe weather on Superfund sites.
