I am pleased FEMA recognizes Floridas need for additional resources. These funds will reimburse the state for technical assistance, mitigation projects, the purchasing of equipment, and staff salaries for projects related to hurricane recovery efforts. Recovery is a difficult process, and the federal government must continue to assist our local communities in a time of need. I want to thank FEMA Administrator Long for being receptive to the conversations weve had on Capitol Hill and on the ground in Florida with his staff. I look forward to continue working with him and my congressional colleagues to assess the recovery timeline and secure additional support to complete the process. Congressman Diaz-Balart joined Florida colleagues in numerous letters to the Administration regarding hurricane relief efforts, including to then-DHS Acting Secretary Elaine Duke and FEMA Administrator Brock Long. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
