The US and the world are experiencing record-setting devastation due to climate change

In 2020, the US experienced a record 22 climate disasters (including hurricanes and wildfires) that each caused more than $1 billion in damages and a combined $95 billion in damages.

An estimated 296,000 people died of heat-related causes in 2018 (19,000 in the US) - up over 50% compared to 14 years prior.

An estimated 840 million people will be undernourished in 2030, a number exacerbated by decreasing crop yields due to climate change.

With the severity of climate threats, FEMA needs to strategically address climate change

As the Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA is tasked with leading the US government's efforts in disaster prevention, preparation and relief.

As climate change unfortunately causes more and more disasters, FEMA needs to adequately factor climate change into its prevention and preparation to protect lives, communities, infrastructure, and more.
