California Gov. Gavin Newsom (d) wrote to members of Congress asking for nearly $40 billion to rebuild their communities after wildfires devastated the Palisade and Altadena districts of Los Angeles' Pacific Ocean. I've sent it.
“It's clear that recovery from these fires is beyond California's capabilities and requires support from the US government,” the governor said. Z wrote in a letter to Senator Tom Cole. (R-Okla.) and Rosa Delaulo (D-Conn.).
“No doubt Los Angeles will spend this money wisely. California will ensure that the funds will serve individuals, communities, property owners and businesses who have suffered losses from these devastating fires. .”
He praised the Trump administration for helping to clean up debris, citing the state's decision to nearly double the CAL fire officials' budget as a sign of intent to strengthen recovery efforts.
In addition, this article will not only use Federal Emergency Management Office dollars, but also withdraw relief funds from various agencies, including the Small Business Administration and the Housing and Urban Development Authority, among other grants. I'm proposing it.
“Funding is also important for repairing and recovering medical facilities affected by the fire. At their peak, the fire was forced to evacuate 160 facilities affecting more than 2,600 individuals,” Newsom said. It was obtained by the hill.
“As of February 5th, there were 40 child care, 19 adult and senior care, five children housing, two skilled nursing facilities, two meeting living facilities, two substance use disorder housing programmes , and one federally qualified health center has been destroyed. Relief is needed to address the impact of the fire, including infrastructure needs, temporary facilities, lost facilities. It includes supplies.”
Democrats California Sens. Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla speak in support of the measure.
The request comes a day after Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) deleted city fire chief Christine Crowley in response to a fatal January wildfire in the area.
