We\u2019re working to get that through the House, so the program will be reauthorized and can continue going forward,\u201d said DelBene. \u201cWe\u2019ve had strong bipartisan support. Communities across the country are vulnerable. This is about all of us coming together and making sure we're doing everything possible to prevent a national tragedy.\u201d\n\nDelBene is featured in the following portions of the documentary:\n\nFrom 35:38: DelBene discusses the Oso landslide and her legislation to improve landslide preparedness\n\nFrom 40:04: DelBene discusses the importance of mapping landslides and reauthorizing the National Landslides Hazards Reduction Program\n\nFrom 47:41: DelBene discusses the need for proactive policies and how communities can stay alert", 1, "2026-09-04T09:19:37Z", "2026-09-04T09:20:58Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://delbene.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=4449"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.174844965338707, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
