Trump FEMA Chief Supports Cutting Coverage for Flood-Prone Homes
Bloomberg, Aug. 23, 2017–Christopher Flavelle
Brock Long, who was confirmed in June as the administrator at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said taxpayers shouldn’t be on the hook for homes that keep flooding, and the threshold for triggering federal public assistance after a disaster might be too low. He also expressed support for an Obama administration idea to make local governments pay more when a hurricane or flood hits.
