In 2020, the nation witnessed a record-breaking 22 weather-related disasters each with more than a billion dollars in damaGes – totalinG $95 billion nationally. The proposed investment of $47 billion in funding to prepare our infrastructure for the impacts of climate change, cyber-attacks, and extreme weather events is a vital step towards proactively manaGinG these risks. Many federal aGencies will play an important role in fundinG, desiGn and construction of resilient infrastructure, includinG the U.S. Army Corps of EnGineers (USACE), the Federal Emergency ManaGement AGency (FEMA), the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), among others. As you develop the details of how to allocate the proposed $47 billion in this funding package, we respectfully urge you to allocate at least $30 billion of the proposed funding to urgent climate resilience and adaptation needs across a range of federal agencies. Of this amount, we urge you to authorize $15 billion to fund an ongoing multi-hazard resilience program managed by HUD and supported by other relevant federal agencies, as further described in this letter.

    My Drift Title: Mayor Race 2020 Written by: Jerry D. Petersen Date: 10 Oct 2020 Article Number: 344-2020-22 The most important Hawaii race is the 2020 Honolulu mayoral election that will determine the Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu for the 4-year term commencing in January 2021. Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, the state of Hawaii and especially Honolulu has more problems to deal with than anybody can remember. Here is a partial list of the primary issues the new mayor is going to be faced with: • People are out of work and broke • Many businesses are closing for good • Need to get the tourists back to Hawaii and the economy going again • The cost of living has always been too high • Homelessness is out of control • Honolulu rail costs keep going up with no completion date in sight • Traffic congestion keeps getting worse • Hawaii has a meth drug epidemic • Oahu is running out of places to dump our garbage • There are junk cars and trash all over the place • Climate change – Hawaii’s beautiful beaches are disappearing If you are one of the few people who read my articles without any interest in Hawaii, you can probably find something better to do than reading about our mayor candidates. Bye. The purpose of this article is to provide information about Rick Blangiardi and Keith Amemiya so that us Oahu voters can elect the best man for the job. I will try to be unbiased which should not be too hard since I like both candidates.
