MUNICIPALITIES MUST GET CREATIVE TO FUND RESILIENCY IN A TIME OF BOTH GREATER NEED AND REDUCED FEDERAL FUNDING
Drew Myers, policy representative, State and Local Issues, Advocacy Group, National Association of REALTORS®, said state governments are taking action on the budget impact of weather-related events.
“As the administration reviews and
considers overhauling FEMA disaster aid and other programs, some states are
considering boosting or creating new disaster recovery funds while others will
invest in their ‘rainy-day’ funds to bolster their ability to provide aid to
their constituents in the future,” Myers said.
States are also thinking about
longer-term strategies, debating policy solutions to address disaster
preparedness, response and recovery.
