in terms of map redrawing fema is always in the process of this. are extraordinarily contentious process cheese. it can be very political. members of congress can get involved. communities are very active and engaged because it matters a great deal with the line is. if it is on your side of the street or the other side of the street because al will affect your insurance rate. one of the things is if you are in a flood plain and if you have a certain slot rest, you have the risk regardless of what the map says. the map represents the underlying risk, but the map does not change the underlying risk. the flood plain is what it is. the map is just an attempt to characterize that. one of the issues is that 14 for fema and the flood insurance program is the one to draw the maps as accurate as possible because that is the only way we can appropriately prioritize insurance. when we give cheaper insurance rates basically because of the way the map is drawn, that does not change the underlying risk. all that means is they are getting lower rates than they sh

it was like fema. i am not criticizing fema during katrina. we showed you the whole town and all of a sudden they sent francis in. it looked like what was happening with b.p. and they had to start over again with it. one of the things i forgot earlier, bringing about the stuff was, you get mom and dads not making money. what we did is got with b.p. and asked to hire the kids from 14-year-old to 17-year-old boys and girls. we bring them to the shop, put them on a bus and it's litter control and they got their first paycheck last friday -- no, wednesday, i'm sorry. and they were so excited because they couldn't go in their living room and saw their mom and dad frustrated, fighting. they were afraid to ask for $5 to buy ice cream or go to the store. all their values taken away. what happens is they make their own money and you can see talking with the parents now things got a little better inside the house, that the kids are making their own money. and we make sure we feed them breakfast. they take two hours off for lunch. but that's one of the t

while fema has made good progress on many of the recommendations, other agencies have not and, therefore, the commission's work remains incomplete. the subcommittee will continue to work with the commission on implementation of its recommendations. h.r. 5266, the national commission on children and disasters act of 2010, re-authorizes the commission by extending the deadline for its final report until december 31, 2012, and requires annual interim reports from the commission. the commission will sunset 180 days after the date of its final report. h.r. 5266 authorizes appropriations of $1.5 million in fiscal year 2011 and 2012 and $1 million in fiscal year 2013, the final year of the commission. the bill also rectifies the problem the commission experienced at the outset when it took nearly five months for all members of the commission to be apointed. the bill requires vacancies to be filled in 90 days which should help minimize any delays in the commission's work in the event of a vacancy. i urge my colleagues to join me in supporting h.r. 5266. and, madam speaker, i reserve the balance

in the context of the federal government's fema program, the reported a loss of about $1.6 billion to fraudulent claims. in that context all we determined it was not going to happen in louisiana, and it did not. in terms of fraudulent claims in this aspect, once again, it is a matter of proof. the fraudulent claims would be treated and i think dealt with harshly. but it would be dealt with by bp. and/or by the feinberg wrote. host: baldwin county, on the gulf coast. will, go ahead. caller: i was calling about the oil spill. i live in baldwin county 79 years, and in the county and all around the beach of mississippi and louisiana, we will survive. we survived katrina. and about the mexicans coming in. of all the mexicans in the world -- katrina, mexicans and their navy and cents a tent and the only nation in the world that offered to help so bring them on. i like to say to you does not matter what happens. we will survive. in five years you come back and we will see you were -- in five years, you come back and we will be in better shape. caller: i am calling because i recently started

this is a map that is from fema. it is a look at what the power grid really looks like. i am just getting ready for this yesterday, learning there are 3000 separate utilities that supply power to the nation. how is t infrastructure set up, and what are the biggest challenges? guest: there are thousands of utilities, and the idea of one national grid is kind of a misnomer also. there are several different regional grids that were put in place over the last 60 to 70 years. they were not necessarily made to match up and communicate with each other. it is a very patchwork, not always comprehensive, well- organized system. this is one of the big challenges facing policy-makers right now, looking at this aging patchwork, regional system of different networks, a different grades, a different utilities and trying to overhaul. it is kind of a mid-20th century system and trying to figure out how to overhaul this physical infrastructure into a system that can beat 21st entry needs. host: you reference this marg concept. what is this about? gu-- you referenced the smart grid concept
