FEMA's #1 priority in its 2025 budget increase proposal is "equity" and "climate resilience." "Disaster preparedness" is 3rd

    What, exactly, does FEMA consider "climate resilience" to be??

    From FEMA's home page:

    3. Understand FEMA’s Mission and Goals

    FEMA’s mission is to help people before, during and after disasters. This is the top focus of everybody working for or with FEMA in the field. Once there is a presidential declaration of a major disaster or emergency, FEMA coordinates and collaborates with federal, state, local and tribal agencies to get assistance to survivors.

    That's it. Their Mission Statement.

    Then...

    If your company has goods or services that are useful in the situations described below, then proceed to step two.

    • Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) may be selectively activated for both Stafford Act and non-Stafford Act incidents. Resources coordinated though ESFs are assigned where needed within the response structure. Regardless of where ESFs may be assigned, they coordinate closely with one another to accomplish their missions.
    • Mission Assignments: Federal agencies may provide disaster assistance under their own authorities or through mission assignments from FEMA, authorized by the Stafford Act. 
      • FEMA issues mission assignments in anticipation of, or in response to, a Presidential declaration of an emergency or major disaster. Mission assignments allow for deployment, employment and assistance from the full range of federal resources to support disaster needs.

    I don't see anything abut Equitable and Climate Resilience. It ain't there. Doing anything other than what their Mission Statement allows, is FRAUD and maybe EXTORTION.

    That set of priorities will change drastically on 20 January 2025 and the nation will be better served by the change back to SANITY!!!!!!!

    Still borrowing money, Yes, the United States is still borrowing money: 

     National debt
    As of October 2024, the U.S. national debt was $35.7 trillion, which is almost the same size as the entire U.S. economy. The debt is expected to double within the next 30 years.
    The annualized cost of servicing the debt was $726 billion in July 2023, which was 14% of total federal spending. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that annual net interest costs will almost double over the next decade.
