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

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.
