“Fighting human trafficking and exploitation in the wake of natural disasters takes a coordinated response,” said Rep. Laurel Lee. “The FEMA for Safe Recovery Act will strengthen our disaster response by ensuring FEMA personnel have the training and guidance to recognize potential violence, sexual exploitation, and human trafficking. I am proud to work with Congresswoman McBath on this bipartisan effort to ensure survivors have the support and protection they need when disaster strikes.”

Lee promoted the FEMA for Safe Recovery Act as a bipartisan effort that will strengthen disaster response by training and guiding FEMA personnel to identify violence, sexual exploitation, and human trafficking and support survivors.

Assessments

Public state: delivered As of 2026-09-14 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): delivered. same_term A for effort

The commitment was to support the FEMA for Safe Recovery Act, not to secure enactment or FEMA implementation. Verified passages show Lee joined McBath in introducing the bill, publicly described working on the bipartisan effort, and the bill text would direct FEMA to issue regulations and guidance on preventing gender-based violence, human trafficking, and sexual exploitation after disasters. That satisfies the support-legislation commitment, while enactment/implementation remains outside this exact promise.
