I’m honored to join @BPC_Bipartisan’s newly relaunched Disaster Response Reform Task Force. Looking forward to working with this group to advance much needed reforms to federal disaster assistance programs. Learn more about our work here: bipartisanpolicy.org/press-r…

Today it's Kentucky but my recommendations for @AndyBeshearKY apply after almost EVERY federally declared disaster in any state or territory.
Big thanks to the @courierjournal for keeping survivors and solutions top of mind for KY and Federal leaders.

Our roots in NOLA began six months after Katrina. It’s our home base. Every way we’ve grown as an organization in the last decade has come from a desire to prevent the suffering we observed in those early days. Our disaster response team is prepped and ready to deploy.
The effects of delay in the delivery of disaster assistance are extremely difficult/often impossible to reverse. Still, I'm thrilled to see @HUDgov delivering long overdue assistance to Puerto Ricans still struggling to rebuild their homes and lives.

Disaster recovery doesn’t have to be this difficult.... but it is... for hundreds of thousands of survivors every. single. year. riskcenter.wharton.upenn.edu…
Terrific suggestion @yneyman - Using modern tools at @FEMA to verify eligibility will add speed and predictability to the recovery process, preventing needless human suffering and years of delay. apple.news/ApaWIGYAiSAS9Tq_H…

A great piece by @leslieatlarge on the challenges facing FEMA. Not mentioned here is modernizing FEMA damage assessment capability. The future is predictive analytics, aerial imagery, remote estimate technology, and the time to invest is now. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @business
Climate risk, the housing affordability crisis, coronavirus, and record setting disaster seasons are just a few of the important projects @HUD oversees. @SBP is excited for the new ideas and leadership @mlfudge will bring as Secretary! bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Thanks much to @WhartonRiskCtr for sharing this I wrote for @thehill Our country can and must do better in disaster-impacted communities and there’s no time like the present.

With more frequent and severe disaster events we must innovate and adapt. American communities are going through a lot and they need more and better assistance than what they are about to receive. We need big steps forward, and the time is now. thehill.com/opinion/energy-e…
Disaster recovery can be simplified and COViD-19 requires it.
