"Though responding to this pandemic has not been easy for anyone, it would have been so much more difficult without the assistance and the support of FEMA. And now the agency is facing new and increasing challenges on multiple fronts—such as the growing potential crisis at the US Mexico border where COVID-19 social distancing practices have increased the need for more beds, as the Chairwoman noted. That is why it is more important than ever that we work to ensure the agency is properly equipped with the funding and resources it needs."
