By investing in seismic research, preparedness, and community engagement, we pave the way for a nation that stands strong in the face of earthquakes, ensuring the durability of our shared infrastructure. We support this bipartisan effort from Senator Alex Padilla & Sen. Lisa Murkowski 💪

Informed, thoughtful comments from Daniel Kaniewski at yesterday's Senate Banking hearing. Resilience and risk reduction require a joint effort, from the government, to the private sector, to national stakeholder orgs. (And thanks for the BuildStrong America shoutout!)

As severe weather impacts increase, the Weather Data Taxpayer Protection Act will ensure we can count on trusted weather risk models in times of crisis. We applaud Congressman Max Miller & Frank Lucas for taking the lead on this important issue. 📰: tinyurl.com/ys55utwu

"There’s real danger that decisions made with these tools can harm people with fewer resources or less ability to afford higher costs." Interesting look at the challenges facing the adoption of weather data models and the importance of transparency, reliability, and accuracy. 👇

Adopting codes and policies. Effective enforcement. Widespread education efforts. Communicating risk in a way that makes sense. All critical factors in ensuring resilience is actually achieved.

STATEMENT: House Committee Advances Bipartisan Electric Grid Resilience Bill from Representative Val Hoyle & Congressman Mike Ezell 📰: tinyurl.com/ytfp5rpz

""The way that we fund disaster relief in the country is not sustainable."

The bipartisan POWER Act from Representative Val Hoyle & Congressman Mike Ezell just passed out of the House. This bill is truly a game-changer for protecting our nation’s lifeline infrastructure. hoyle.house.gov/media/press-re…

"Of these disaster-relief grants, the state failed to use about 20% of the money that was available."

"The largest factor contributing to these events is insufficient resources," says Natalie Enclade. "Local agencies and resources are quickly overwhelmed by the speed and scale of these megafires."

"Meeting or exceeding local building codes will result in something far more resistant than houses built 30 or 40 years ago, like many of those burning in Altadena and Pacific Palisades."
