Carson's FY2026 request for the Howland Ditch project sought FEMA Pre-Disaster Mitigation funding to add floodplain storage, use natural solutions for resiliency, reduce flooding costs, and remove structures from the floodplain.
Assessments
Carson took concrete federal action aligned with the promise by requesting and advancing FEMA Pre-Disaster Mitigation funding for Indianapolis flood-control and resilience infrastructure, and the House appropriations report listed $1.145 million for that project with Carson as requester. That demonstrates material support for climate/disaster-resilient infrastructure in office. However, the cited record shows a project request and committee-report funding, not clear final enacted delivery of the full promised outcome, so it merits partial credit rather than full delivery.
