Take action to protect against extreme weather

U.S. Congress

Flooding in Texas. Extreme heat in Arizona. Fires in California. Disasters like these are becoming more frequent, more intense, and more costly because of climate change. We all can see that our communities are vulnerable to extreme weather, but the Trump administration is repealing standards that protect our health and cut the pollution driving the climate crisis. They’re dismantling the EPA, NOAA, NWS, FEMA, and other agencies that provide critical support and services to help people prepare and respond to disasters.

When disaster strikes, no one wins – except polluters. The Trump administration and its allies are gutting the very agencies that protect us, all to serve their billionaire oil and gas backers.

We need to keep climate solutions on the books and be ready to respond to extreme weather disasters. Join us in urging the Trump administration to stop undermining pollution standards and stop weakening the EPA, NOAA, NWS, FEMA, and other critical federal agencies.

Flooding in Texas. Extreme heat in Arizona. Fires in California. Disasters like these are becoming more frequent, intense, and costly due to climate change. We all can see that our communities are vulnerable to extreme weather. Every day, Americans are experiencing the devastation of extreme weather and it drives home the urgent need for bold action on climate.

That’s why we’re urging you to take action to protect us from extreme weather disasters made worse by climate change and burning fossil fuels.Uphold science-based policies that cut pollution and protect public health. Ensure there are robust resources and expert staff at EPA, NOAA, FEMA, and other key agencies so they can continue their critical work protecting our air, water and climate and helping us prepare for and recover from extreme weather.

When disasters strike, no one wins. But efforts by the Trump administration and allies in Congress to undermine climate protections while defunding and dismantling the agencies and services that help people during climate disasters tells us one thing: polluters win, the rest of us lose.

Do not give fossil fuel CEOs free passes at the expense of the rest of the country and hard-working people like me.
