Gillen presses Fugate on NSGP deadlines and flood corridor resilience in hearing
Rep. Laura Gillen questions former FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate during a congressional hearing. She highlights flooding risks on Long Island after Superstorm Sandy, her amendment to the FEMA Act of 2025 on major corridor investments, and urgent concerns over delayed FY2025 Nonprofit Security Grant Program awards plus an abbreviated FY2026 application period in New York. Fugate endorses building to future risk standards, supports extending NSGP deadlines, and recommends legislative fixes for funding periods tied to the fiscal year. The segment includes entry of a bipartisan letter into the record urging FEMA action.
