This is a
hearing
of the Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings, and
Emergency Management. The hearing will examine if the expanded use of
resources is impacting the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s
(FEMA’s) ability to carry out its disaster readiness mission. While
disaster costs in the United States continue to increase,
FEMA is being tasked more frequently with
responding to non-disaster emergencies, such as the
COVID-19 pandemic, the southern border crisis,
and Operation Allies Welcome.
Rescheduled to March 12.
