I am leading the charge to create a National Resilience Strategy, designed to safeguard our coastal communities from the increasing threats of hurricanes, storm surges, and rising sea levels.
Create a National Resilience Strategy to protect coastal communities from hurricanes, storm surges, and rising sea levels.
Occurrences
Evidence
"As a champion of the Everglades, I fully support funding for its restoration and am leading the effort to create a National Resilience Strategy to protect our coastal communities."
"Today, Reps. María Elvira Salazar and Scott Peters introduced the bipartisan National Coordination on Adaptation and Resilience for Security (NCARS) Act. This landmark legislation will create a national resilience strategy and protect Americans from natural disasters."
Assessments
Salazar materially pursued the promise by sponsoring H.R.6311, the National Coordination on Adaptation and Resilience for Security Act of 2023, which would require a federal national adaptation and resilience strategy. However, the bill remained only introduced/referred in the 118th Congress, and the Senate companion also did not advance to enactment. The promised national resilience strategy was therefore not created during the relevant federal office context, though the serious legislative attempt warrants an effort badge.
