It is my hope that today we can have a productive discussion about how FEMA can best help those impacted by Harvey, Irma, and Maria with a particular focus on how to assist Puerto Rico with vital repairs and improvements to its power system, water infrastructure, transportation system, and other important infrastructure.
Lowey emphasizes the need for FEMA to assist Puerto Rico's infrastructure recovery post-disasters.

I am confident that this program will protect lives and property when future--those future storms inevitably hit.
I did not know how prone Puerto Rico was to earthquakes until I woke up and found out what had happened there.
This creates a culture of fear and works directly against the community policing work local law enforcement does.
