A fleet of supplies, including bottled water, meals, tarps, plastic sheeting and generators, arrived at FEMA’s Fort Worth, TX warehouse this morning, ready for distribution after Beryl’s impact. This is just one way we're getting supplies where they are needed as #Beryl quickly approaches the Texas coastline.

Associate Administrator, Justin Knighten, joined the California Department of Foresty and Fire Protection, Sacramento Metro Fire, and other local first responders yesterday to showcase our unified message with the federal government on fire safety and prevention for the 4th of July and all summer long given the risk of wildfires statewide.

Today Administrator Criswell briefed President Biden and other leaders on the Spring disaster season and our readiness for the 2024 hurricane season. At FEMA we are working hard to meet communities where they are, to help them overcome barriers to our assistance and help jumpstart their recovery. As we look ahead to a busy summer defined by strong storms, wildfires, and extreme heat, we stand ready to meet our mission of helping people before, during, and after disasters.

#ICYMI: Administrator Criswell visited with state, local, and tribal leaders, residents, and business owners in New Mexico, Iowa, and South Dakota after recent devastating wildfires and severe flooding. Our personnel are on standby to assist affected communities as needed.

Thank you to these leaders across the federal government for joining our FEMA Pride employee resource group's event to discuss being out at work. Thank you for how you lead every day and for the collaboration in helping people before, during, and after disasters. U.S. Department of Transportation U.S. Small Business Administration USDA

Meet Zachary Merino, a Program Delivery Manager in our Recovery Division's Public Assistance Program. Since joining FEMA in 2019, he feels fortunate to have the opportunity to help communities rebuild after a disaster. “I would like people to know that there are other aspects of FEMA beyond just the immediate response, and that we work a lot on the back end. It’s mostly paperwork, but it’s still very important. We obligate a lot of funds to our state partners and help them rebuild after a disaster.” Thank you for following along this month as we shared about FEMA's Public Assistance Program in Region 10. Feel free to review our previous posts to learn more about FEMA’s largest grant program.
