Bill Summary
Condemning Federal workforce reductions that undermine preparedness, response, and recovery, and expressing concern regarding proposed future staffing cuts to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
AI Summary
This resolution condemns federal workforce reductions, particularly at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), arguing that these cuts undermine the nation's ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters, including natural events and acts of terrorism. It expresses grave concern that such reductions disregard lessons learned from past major disasters and will weaken FEMA's capacity to support state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, as well as frontline responders and communities. The resolution specifically criticizes recent cuts by the Trump Administration, highlighting that FEMA has long struggled with staffing shortages, which have been exacerbated by these actions, and emphasizes the importance of a stable and adequately resourced FEMA workforce for effective disaster management and national security.
