The Mitigation and Adaptation Caucus wrote, and IAEM Board Approved, the attached comments on CDRZ Implementation! Overall, we raise several concerns with how CDRZ are designated, the use of the National Risk Index, and recommend that FEMA make some adjustments in how they are designating zones (involving more state and local folks!). 

This Act is a BIG DEAL and will have a tremendous impact on who gets access to Direct Technical Assistance and future mitigation grant funding. We hope our perspectives will help FEMA move in the right direction.
