[ [link removed] ]Welch for Vermont

Hi Friends,

For the third year in a row, Vermont suffered flooding last week.
Vermonters’ homes were damaged, infrastructure was destroyed, and power
for some residents was wiped out for hours.

Climate change means that we will experience more frequent—and more
destructive—natural disasters in the coming years. We must face that
reality head on. That’s why I’ve been working in the Senate to address
this challenge.

* Improving our disaster resilience: When natural disasters damage our
communities, we need to build back stronger. New technologies can and
must be used to make buildings and infrastructure more resistant to
future extreme weather. 

* Reforming the disaster recovery process: Vermonters know all too well
that the current federal recovery process is way too slow. Communities
in our state that were damaged by the flooding in 2023 are still
waiting to get the resources they need to recover. That’s why I’ve
introduced legislation to reform FEMA and get funding to the local
communities faster who desperately need it.

* Combating climate change: If we don’t combat climate change, the trend
of natural disasters will only get worse. I have and will continue to
fight for renewable energy and green policies that help our economy,
lower energy bills, and remove emissions from the atmosphere to slow
the impacts of climate change. 

We must take action to protect our communities from natural disasters.
I’ll continue to work with whoever I can in the Senate to make progress so
every family is safer. 

Thanks,

Peter
