Improve natural disaster preparedness and wildfire prevention strategies.

Evidence
On the official press releases archive, Messmer's Feb. 3, 2026 release says he introduced the Restoring America's Floodplains Act (H.R. 7264) to enhance USDA authority to mitigate flooding with conservation tools and local expertise.
The official homepage's latest-news block shows posts dated June 5 and June 4, 2026 as the newest visible items, and none of the visible headlines mention disaster preparedness or wildfire prevention; there is no new public sign of progress in the June 15-17 window.
Assessments
Messmer made a concrete disaster-preparedness legislative move in his current term by introducing the Restoring America's Floodplains Act to reduce flooding risk, which supports part of the broader preparedness claim. However, the evidence does not show a delivered wildfire-prevention strategy, and the public record provided shows no clear in-window progress toward the full combined promise, so this is only partial credit rather than full delivery.
