概括

每年,美国人都会损失数十亿美元的自然危害。飓风,野火,洪水,热浪和干旱会影响数百万美国人,并且对低收入社区和有色人种尤其毁灭性。The number of ‘billion-dollar disasters’—those that cause over a billion dollars in damage—is rising as a result of climate change, urbanization, high risk developments, communities in vulnerable areas, aging infrastructure, and federal policy that rewards risk-prone behavior rather than incentivizing risk reduction. An overhaul of U.S. federal disaster policy will reverse the trend and eliminate billion-dollar disasters. This goal requires action at all levels of government, coordination across agencies, and leadership from the highest levels.

拜登·哈里斯(Biden-Harris)政府应以执行命令开始执行多相计划,指示联邦机构在灾难响应,协调机构努力以及将社会正义和气候变化整合到决策中的联邦作用。代理级的授权将制定和实施最佳实践,激励州和地方措施,并为资助分配创造证据基础。最后,灾难法的立法改革将对气候变化的持续影响产生灵活的回应。对联邦法律和政策进行协调的大修将激发州和地方一级的变化,从而导致美国灾难政策已准备就绪,可以解决社会不平等,减少纳税人的责任和灾害损失,并挽救生命。
