Merkley, Wyden, Bonamici: FEMA Must Award Critical Disaster Mitigation Funds to an Oregon Coast Project

"We urge you to honor FEMA's commitments and award Clatsop County and Columbia Memorial Hospital (CMH) the remaining previously awarded grant funds for the Clatsop County Tsunami Earthquake Astoria Hospital Project. These funds are necessary for the North Coast community to withstand the elevated threat of natural disasters, including the anticipated Cascadia Subduction Zone event and the tsunami that will follow," wrote Merkley, Wyden, and Bonamici in their letter to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and FEMA Acting Administrator David Richardson.
