The Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings, and Emergency Management conducts oversight of programs addressing the federal management of emergencies and natural disasters, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Department of Homeland Security’s other disaster management responsibilities
Will conduct oversight of programs addressing federal management of emergencies and natural disasters, including FEMA and DHS disaster management responsibilities.
Occurrences
Evidence
The official subcommittee page identifies Scott Perry as chairman and says the subcommittee conducts oversight of FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security's disaster management responsibilities. The page's Recent Activity section shows its latest listed item on Jun 09, 2026, with no FEMA- or disaster-management-specific action visible in the Jun 11-13 lookback window.
The subcommittee page still identifies Scott Perry as chairman and says the subcommittee conducts oversight of FEMA and DHS disaster-management responsibilities. Its Recent Activity section shows a Jun. 9, 2026 roundtable on public buildings reforms as the latest item, with no FEMA- or disaster-management-specific action visible in the Jun. 11-13 refresh window.
The Jun. 9, 2026 event page shows the subcommittee's latest posted activity was a roundtable on public buildings reforms, not a FEMA- or DHS-disaster-management oversight hearing or markup.
Assessments
Perry holds the chairmanship of the House subcommittee with jurisdiction over FEMA and DHS disaster-management oversight, which shows relevant authority and an avenue to act on the promise. But the evidence provided does not show a concrete hearing, investigation, report, markup, or other specific oversight action by Perry on emergency or natural-disaster management; the latest cited subcommittee activity in the June 11-13, 2026 refresh window was a public-buildings roundtable unrelated to FEMA or disaster management. That is not enough to score the promise as delivered, but it also does not establish failure because the term is ongoing and the claim is about continuing oversight work.
The evidence confirms Scott Perry, as chairman of the relevant subcommittee, had official oversight jurisdiction over FEMA and DHS disaster management responsibilities, which is consistent with the claim’s general oversight promise. However, the record provided does not show a concrete FEMA- or DHS-disaster-management oversight action in the relevant window, so the promise cannot be cleanly marked as fully delivered from this evidence alone.
