I had the privilege to speak with the Mayor Pro Tem of Malibu yesterday on some key highlights that are vital to the recovery of these communities following the recent wildfires. Residents should submit their Right of Entry as soon as possible in order to build back stronger.

Starting now, I have directed a review of the grants and funding that @FEMA provides to nonprofit organizations. Survivors and communities impacted by disasters are and will continue to be our main priority.

I'm in Kentucky, meeting with survivors & first responders to assess the flood damage & ensure communities get the support they need. Grateful to President Donald J. Trump for approving a major disaster declaration, and Secretary Kristi Noem's leadership, allowing survivors to apply for assistance as we work

Congratulations to Troy Edgar on his confirmation and swearing in as Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security. Troy is a man of character and dedication, and President Donald J. Trump could not have chosen anyone better. It’s an honor to work under him.

I had the privilege to meet face-to-face with survivors in Florida yesterday to hear firsthand about their experiences as they rebuild from devastating hurricanes. I ensure we at FEMA will continue to meet the needs of these communities throughout their recovery process.

I met with local officials, business owners & survivors about the ongoing recovery efforts in Florida yesterday with Congresswoman Kat Cammack & other @FEMA staff. While I saw devastation to property & infrastructure, I also saw the whole-of-community working together to help Floridians.

I'm in West Virginia this week to check on response efforts following the recent flooding. I met with our logistics team who are assuring we have what we need, when we need it to support communities' recovery.

This week, I traveled to @FEMARegion1 and @FEMARegion2 as part of my continued efforts to connect with our regional teams. It is my honor to hear from and work alongside @FEMA employees as we build a better model for response and recovery to help those in need.

Emergency declarations for AR, KY and TN allow us to support state response efforts for severe storms and flooding. Together, we are prioritizing life-saving efforts. Search and rescues continue, and meals, water and generators are available as needed.   fema.gov/blog/states-re…

Search and rescue efforts are ongoing. Teams have deployed to support local efforts in KY, AR and TN. Pictured: Nebraska Task Force 1 helps secure propane tanks that floated away and conducts a grid search for an elderly man that drove off the road into a flooded area.

Major flooding hazards are ongoing across several states. For your safety, do not enter flooded areas. Avoid walking and driving through floodwater. Pictured: Maryland Task Force 1 and Virginia Task Force 1 rescue people from flooded homes in Kentucky.

Major river flooding from the Lower Mississippi into the Ohio Valley is ongoing & will continue through the weekend. Make sure you have multiple ways to get emergency alerts. If there is a flood watch or warning in your area, never drive through floodwaters or around barricades.

Our work is about people, and more specifically, people helping people in their most challenging moments. Together, we can answer the call for change and be a part of building a more prepared, ready, and secure nation for generations to come.

It was an honor to visit and connect with @FEMARegion5, FEMA Region 6, and @FEMARegion7 this week. These teams provided valuable insight into the disasters their states experience and how we can support state and local preparedness and response efforts.

Today, Region 6 was honored to host Senior Official Performing the Duties of the @FEMA Administrator, ARCHIVED: Cameron Hamilton. He reaffirmed FEMA’s commitment to operational excellence, mission readiness, and strong community partnerships. #FEMARegion6 #EmergencyManagement

We welcomed Cameron Hamilton, Senior Official Performing the Duties of FEMA Administrator, alongside his team at FEMA HQ and FEMA Region 2 to see firsthand the status of recovery, ongoing projects and what are some of the needs that still need to be met as we approach hurricane

In her first 100 days, Secretary Kristi Noem traveled to North Carolina and Kentucky to hear directly from survivors. The American people need FEMA to work faster and more efficiently to meet their needs. We are changing how things operate and reforming our policies to do just that.

Thank you, I look forward to our continued work.
