$1.24 billion in federal and state funding so that Florida communities and the state can respond to and recover from major disasters or emergencies and mitigate against future disasters or emergencies.

$43 million for the Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) Swift Current Program to reduce or eliminate repetitive flood damage to buildings insured through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to rebuild more flood-resistant buildings.

$8.2 million for the continued design, development, testing and application of the Division of Emergency Management Enterprise Solution (DEMES), a state-of-the-art information technology platform that provides seamless and expedited processing of FDEM’s emergency response and everyday business activities.

$4 million for the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) Grant Program to enhance and expand the ability for research-supported, proactive investment in community resilience.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Not of the “Desantis for President” camp, however when it comes to hurricanes and even Covid, he deserves high marks as governor. States like TX and fire ravaged CA need to take a page from his book.

Almost every state has been in a lull or stupor in recent decades when it pertains to infrastructure, public works, and disaster preparedness.

Covid exposed as much...And yet with every new devastating disaster, Americans remain reactive instead of proactive. Florida is setting a different note! Wish more states would follow suit...It’s not a question of partisanship but basic state & local government 101.
