when i came to fema, i asked why fema did housing. hud has housing in their name.ing to get people into something immediately. we work hand in hand. with the tennessee floods a couple of years ago, we were looking at houses lost. a lot of people were being displaced. our great partners from hud got in there immediately with us. we were able to move people from one section 8 housing to another. they never had to go into fema housing. they did not have to move from place to place or program to program. we are able to move them into what would be their permanent homes. moving forward by that and focusing on what needs to be done as we're looking at a housing and challenges as we move forward. next we have infrastructure systems. i am not sure if anyone was able to join us from the corps of engineers. great. it is great to see you. çwe know the corps of engineers goes around the world building things and looking at roads systems, utility systems. it is not just the corps of engineers. it is looking at things we need to reconstruct. how will we do that? how do you want

fema can take credit where credit is due. the last several years we have been expanding especially in catastrophic planning with our partners from the greater bay area in catastrophic earthquake response plans we developed in 2008 and 2009 -- excuseç me, 2010. i wanted to set the stage about what we're here today to keep in the back of our minds. the type of event we're talking about could literally provide çdamages inñr theç scope ofç e kinds of implications. 1000 bridges totally destroyedç networks disrupted or dysfunctional for two yearsç, maritime prison for weeks or months. çthe transport of 41 key intersection of highways, taking those 335,000 cars, making it almost impossible for them to move aroundñr, then the restoration of water facilities for millions of people in the area, up to 60 days to try to get back online. then the recovery of the refineries and economic redevelopment and slowing of moving 50 million tons of debris you get the picture. this is why we're here. this is why the city of san francisco has

host: in 2011, about 11,000 fema employees nationwide. what's their role and how do they coordinate with states, especially when it comes to disaster situations? guest: if you go to fema's website, you will see they have an enormous checklist that they do. they do training. they work with private institution to make sure that the private sector can support the public sector in an emergency. they are responsible for assisting fire departments around the country. but their principle mission is to work with state and localities and ensuring that there's an integrated federal state local response. they're there to supplement resources, provide training. my center, as a matter of fact, does nationwide training on behalf of fema for state and local first responders in teaching them how to develop contingency plans for example, when a disaster is so severe and the fire department or police department or the hospitals are put out of commission. how do they get up and running in 12 hours to provide essential functions that were disrupted by the em

so we have a really good core of people that know how to do fema cost recovery being built in the city. the controller's office will do that, a deeper one also during the month of may. and depending how good it is, then we can make some improvements and invite other departments after that. so just to make you aware those are happening. if you have somebody that needs introduction to cost recovery training, again, we've probably been in touch with them already, but let us know if there's somebody who looks like that. >> thank you, peg. other announcements? >> maybe just a reminder about the [inaudible] >> thank you. >> will reopen monday, 5:00 a.m. >> thank you chief. yes. >> question -- i've heard there's going to be an early closure of the golden gate bridge on may 1.

hard in those years to provide robust funding for important grant programs, increased funding for fema first responder grants, we did by $1 billion, between fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2010. and unfortunately these programs are now under threat. since 2010 funding for fema grants has been cut by nearly 50% to a total level of $1.3 billion for fiscal 2012. those cuts are shortsighted and they're dangerous and i have said so repeat lid. after all, local governments -- repeatedly. after all, local governments are the first responders to emergencies. local law enforcement, fire, emergency, medical and as well as county public health and other public safety personnel are responsible for the on the ground response and recovery action. local communities are -- secure our ports, transit systems, water supplies, schools and hospitals. so plainly put, these grants protect our communities and are vitally important in our ability to detect, deter and respond to a variety of threats and disasters and the gentleman from new jersey has stressed, our rail and transit systems are an important part of this -

this amendment would add $10 million to fema's state and local grant program. this will be an additional $10 million that our state governments and local units of government could have available to them to better protect their citizens in the case of an emergency an also to respond more effectively to such a disaster. this money can go to high-risk urban areas such as metro detroit that really need the resources. it can also go to better protect and secure or ports which would also benefit regions like metropolitan detroit. the reason why i come to this congress, to this budget, and ask for these additional resources is because in the past, this congress failed to properly oversee the housing market, which resulted in a crisis that dramatically reduced property values all around this country and most tragically, reduced the revenues available to state and low -- states and localities to fund these important services. that's why i'm asking this congress, this house, to amend this budget to provide an additional $10 million to our states and local units of govern
