Schatz Calls For Additional Disaster Relief Money For Maui, Other Impacted Communities As Government Funding Deadline Nears

Press Release

"Americans impacted by disasters are the ones most desperately in need," said Senator Schatz. "That includes the people on Maui who are just beginning the recovery process from last month's devastating wildfires, but also people in states across the country: in Vermont, in Florida, in California, in Texas, and many other states."

Funding disaster relief is one of the core responsibilities of the federal legislature, not just as a matter of public policy but morally. What are we here for other than to help our fellow Americans when they are in desperate situations?"
