Jared Moskowitz Pushes Bill to Maintain FEMA Disaster Funding
Jared Moskowitz has filed legislation to ensure continuous funding for disaster payments during the federal shutdown.
“During a government shutdown, communities hit by disaster shouldn’t have to worry that the resources they’re counting on to recover will go undelivered,”
Moskowitz said, emphasizing that politics should not dictate the reliability of the government's response to disasters.
- The Federal Emergency Management Continuity Act would require FEMA to continue disbursing Disaster Relief Funding even without a budget resolution.
- The legislation aims to provide confidence to families and businesses that promised funds will still be delivered despite the shutdown.
Moskowitz will file the bill with U.S. Troy Carter, a Louisiana Democrat, to maintain the flow of disaster relief funding.
