Summary: The Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) opposes the FEMA Review Council's recommendations to shift more responsibilities and costs to state, local, and tribal governments. They argue that these changes, including updating the per capita indicator and privatizing the National Flood Insurance Program, would unfairly burden low-income and rural communities with fewer resources.
The Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) submits its comment, attached as a PDF, as a response to the Federal Emergency Management Agency Review (FEMA) Council's recommendations to alter FEMA's delivery of services. In the comment, CCAN expresses concern that many of the proposed changes to shift more responsibilities to the state, local, and tribal levels of government will increase burdens on disaster-affected communities.
