THOMPSON, CARTER, TITUS, HIGGINS ANNOUNCE CREATION OF THE DISASTER EQUITY AND BUILDING RESILIENCE CAUCUS

Press Release

"Extreme weather often has the greatest impact on our country's most vulnerable communities, this is something the Buffalo-Niagara region, knows all too well,"

"From deadly blizzards to ice storms and lakeshore flooding, we have experienced first-hand the challenges that low-income communities face when a natural disaster strikes. I am proud to serve as a co-chair of the Congressional Disaster Equity and Building Resilience Caucus. I would like to thank Rep. Thompson for his long-standing leadership and efforts in addressing issues of equity across our country. Together we can eliminate barriers and inequities communities face in disaster preparedness and recovery, so all Americans have the opportunity to rebuild following devastating storms and other types of natural disasters."
