Summary: The National League of Cities (NLC) supports the FEMA Review Council's recommendations to streamline federal processes, improve disaster recovery funding, and modernize technology. However, they urge caution to ensure that reforms do not shift financial risks or administrative burdens to local governments without providing corresponding federal investments and capacity building.
