The promise was to call on FEMA Administrator Cameron Hamilton to provide a written plan addressing FEMA staffing cuts agency-wide and in Region 1, and readiness for hurricane season and beyond. The provided evidence shows Blumenthal, while serving in the same Senate term, formally sent the demand and requested that written plan. Because the promised act was the oversight call/request itself, not FEMA's completion of the plan, the lack of a FEMA response does not prevent fulfillment.
