it's not just fema. we work with the 48 write your own insurance companies that administer the program on behalf of us. we rely on them to do their part to make sure people understand flood risk. we work with community members, the 22,400 communities to participate in the program, try to provide them information and many do their own campaign. many state insurance commissioners do their own campaigns trying to raise flood awareness. there's no question we need to do a better job making sure people appreciate the true flood risk the nation faces. >> the time of the gentleman has expired. thank you, thank you, . the gentlewoman from ms. texas -- from texas mr. cissna reckoner for five minutes. >> thank you, madam chair and thank you to mr. maurstad for being here today to bring us an update on the flood insurance program. i represent the houston area and ask our ranking member has mentioned we have a lot of flood prone areas, and have had numerous, 500 years events, both flooding and just rain events. the

you didn't mention fema personnel. and the mayors and county judges on border towns we've poken to say that what they really need is not just fema dollars but fema personnel themselves to house and feed these migrants as your department releases them. why not send fema personnel to the border the way you would in any other emergency? >> well, the deployment of fema personnel is specific to a particular type of emergency, an emergent event. this is an ongoing challenge that quite frankly has vexed this country for decades because this country has been unable, congress has been unable to pass immigration reform that everyone agrees and understands is desperately needed. we are working with an immigration system that was last reformed in the 1990s. migration has changed dramatically since then, and we need our laws updated. >> so are you saying that basically your hands are tied and you can't send fema personnel even if you wanted to? >> no, i'm not saying that at all. and as a matter of fact, our fema personnel are coord

this is a question i could take back and work with fema. we do work with fema on anything related to other territories, guam, virgin islands and samara but not puerto rico. >> we had last year in hearing the gao testified only 19% at that point of the relief money was allocated and had spent. are there plans to move the dollars sooner and a follow-up would be i am getting feedback from vendors now that are doing the work in hurricane relief and cleanup and rebuild they are not getting paid. for more than just a normal amount of time. over a year in some cases they are not getting paid for their work. >> once again i will take that question back and see it we can get you an answer but this is not an area my office oversees. we will be happy to work with interagency. >> so it is really two questions. at that point there were only 19% of relief money that had gone out and how soon -- what to expect the performance of that to be and vendors getting paid? one more on -- where are we at? i'm sorry. mr. new lynn again. law enforcement officers on

and his right i had what they call high fema and it which is blood in the eye. so i wasn't sure if he was going to be able to see out of it. but both eyes were patched. he lost his left arm above the elbow and his right arm was totally off. and as he was making up from anesthesia, he was going years i can put my arm down. and he literally was lifting his chest of trying to put his right arm down. and there was another nurse and myself working with this patient and i went over and talked with him and i said, you know, you are just waking up from anesthesia. do you remember what happened? he said yes. he said i, and then he never finished. so i said okay, let's just try to relax. are you in? pain no i'm not in pain. and he was almost defiant. he was angry, like why can't i see? why can't i do this? why can't i do that? are you having me tied down? and so i laid my hand on his chest, and i said you know you are in the recovery room. you have been injured. and he said one of the extent of my injuries? and i looked at the other nurse, because i knew we weren't suppos

i want to say first i really appreciate the work of fema. also one is working for senator coates i was on the ground for the tourney that hit indiana and worked with fema for about six months. they provided excellent service during that time so thank you. many hoosiers face the threat of flooding the vast majority of properties in indiana lack flood insurance coverage, approximate 2.5 million properties currently do not havenf coverage. the number of homes and businesses covered has also dropped in recent years. march 2021 there were 20000 leonard and i policies in place in indiana as of last october there were less than 17400 policies. a drop of more than 13% are over 2700 policies from just a year end a half prior. one reason why indiana has been dropping policies is due to cost for between 1978 and 2017 hoosiers paid over $440 million in premium to the receive lesson 290 million back. they paid $150 million more than they received. with inflation forcing americans to tighten their belts, their wallet, many cannot afford to pay these high

so, if he continues to say the border is secure but you are sending fema and using fema resources, youon't use fema unless you are in a time of crisis. he's not honest with the american people and that's why the majority of folks don't trust him when he talks about this, he's not telling the truth and he's not -- he disagrees with border patrol officials. folks who have been on the ground for 20 or 30 years doing this job, he has disagreed openly in a congressional hearing with them and so i think he's got a real credibility problem and why most americans do not trust him on this issue. >> john: call four number three here, some of the officials he's been disagreeing with include the border patrol chief ortiz tweeting out what the reality is. past 72 hours, 26,382 apprehensions, 7,399 approximately got-aways, talks about marijuana, meth, cocaine, fentanyl, heroin, the money that's been seized, why is ortiz doing this? >> well, look, i think the chief is a professional and he understands that he's got to maintain some credibility with his workforce. and so he's not going to say the bord

no. fema as well. the problem is that she is unable to grab a diet. i mean, after 2014, she just ceased on being allowed to come to russia and kind of bolts. you know, there was a time was allowed months after that as much to my, the wheels are meant to be honest with you or the people that story, you know, there were a radius 100. so rather than the diesels on him with members, businessman, who are bought from the united states, even though they didn't participate in any quotas, i would say actually, you know, they, they do them in any way impair most of them can bag us interest. but she absolutely insisted that after she just read the whole after she acknowledged that her whole goal with the jeffrey part is genuine. remember what she said about the you with them and how they turn the school would be your grands next brain minister that ok, they were just spent decided to do they, they didn't really need it though because we know that the and that's based on interviews, you're bringing fast in the same way now to of just spent decides appropriate. bo

i talked about encouraging and enabling fema to do more in terms of its mapping.i think that is something that should absolutely be encouraged. >> i see my time has expired. i yield back. at the gentleman deals with a gentlewoman from california ms. waters is the ranking member of the full committee is now recognized for five minutes. >> thank you very much. dr. martine private insurers have receded after they were hit by catastrophe flooding. for example we have heard from homeowners in houston this coverage following hurricane harvey was dropped by their private insurers. we have heard about people who reapply for coverage. were shocked to receive notification that they were denied coverage. can you discuss how this affects equitable access to flood insurance and what does this say about the role of the impact of? >> thank you for that question. we certainly hear stories in the general process anecdotes around policies lost immediately after an event or many times before. i can't speculate about the reasons for that. certainly one of the policies being dropped o

and it's really important to talk about that because secretary mayorkas, fema, they really have stepped up to help us make sure that we do the job of the federal government. we all know they're not coming into el paso, they're coming into the united states. so we've been working with them to make sure. we know the immigration process is broken. there's no ifs or buts about it. our city and the southern border couldn't do it without federal aid. >> are you seeing any kind of health impact in your community? >> any what, i'm sorry? >> health impact. there have been reports about health facilities being overburdened. >> you know, one of the things that's -- when the judge passed that law that says they had to have a court date prior to being released into the community, we're prepared. we are prepared. we have two schools that were not being used. we've opened it up to be ready to help the asylum seekers and help them go. once they get number then they're prepared to go to their destination, whether to meet with family, friends or a job that they have arranged. we're prepared and have gott

we must get the help of fema. this is why i and new york city's congressional delegation fought so hard to secure nearly $40 million for much-needed federal funding. new york is proud -- is a proud right to shelter city. it requires the city to provide asylum seekers with shelter along with their families. this week i led a letter to -- by the congressional delegation of our city to fema to oversee the immediate release of additional -- an additional $360 million in shelter and service funds. we must get that aid. madam speaker, i want to also address another issue. the weaponization of immigration, how every day right on this floor we hear some of our colleagues weaponize immigration for political purposes, particularly during the election season, we hear them weaponize this issue to try to score some cheap political points. they try to say that it is the moms that walk for thousands of miles with their children fleeing violence that are carrying fentanyl and other dangerous drugs when in fact all the evidence fo

this is a timing issue and fema has been shifting its focus on reviewing claim from other jurisdictions who haven't been i am bursted and we expect reimbursement. revenue is $26 million from prior projection but that's $30 million below budget. on the next slide, this graph shows what transfer tax would have been had the current rates been in existence started in 2000 to 2001. orange shows revenue on transfer over $20 million and blue is for those revenues less than $25 million. as you can see in the last year, the current years expected to plummet to levels that we haven't seen since '03, '04 and the blue and -- transfer taxes are highly volatile source. on the next slide, we turn to department results. we divide them up into two groups and net surplus and net shortfall departments and this table shows the net short department falls. at the six-month, the police department was the main shortfall department due to projected over time, overspend and the board of supervisors approved a $27 million supplemental to solve that problem. so that's not here on this table anymore. now, the main

>> fema and secretary mayorkas have been good for our community.l funding to do the job of the federal government. we know that the people are not coming to el paso. they're coming to the united states. they have been working really closely to us, and they actually sent about two weeks ago the red cross. the red cross came to aid, the ngos came to aid the people who had not gone through the immigration process. they were able to help them, something important to continue to work with them. a lot of pictures you showed today, they have changed because of the process that's gone on, to make sure the people go through the immigration process and do the things the way that it was set up to be done. >> you know this situation well. you've lived through it before, surely. maybe not to this extent. as you look ahead, are you concerned that this is a lull, a calm before another storm. or do you feel confident that the numbers that have gone down will continue to go down. >> well, you're right because we went through this in december. we've gone through it

no. fema as well. the problem with that is that she's unable to grab a diet. i mean, after 2014, she just ceased on being allowed to come to russia and kind of bolts. you know, there was a time was allowed was after that. yeah. most of my, the world are meant to be honest with you or the people that story, you know, there were a radius of the rest of the visuals on him as members, businessman, who are bob from the united states, even though they didn't participate in any cause i would say actually you know they, they did them in any way impair most of them can bag us interests. but she absolutely insisted that after she won't just read the whole after she acknowledge that her whole goal with the jeffrey part was genuine. you remember what you said them all the you with them and probably trying to cool would be your grass next. prime minister. they ok, they were just spent decided to do they, they didn't really be just though because we know that they're not spaced out into fear. you're bringing fast in the same way. now you would just spend the sizes appropria

in el paso, not just among local leaders, but also with the department of homeland security, with fema and other partners. we knew that this was going to be a tremendous challenge and even before the lifting of title 42 we have -- we are seeing about 2,000 people on the street of -- streets of el paso, migrants who are surrounding a church, sacred heart church, who have been fed misinformation about what they can expect here in the united states, misinformation by their human traffickers, by the cartels, and, andrea, one of the things that no one is talking about that i think is really important to mention, you know, fema has been incredible in providing financial resources to local partners, our local governments and ngos, but the republican party, republican colleagues, wrote into pass legislation that we are not allowed to use fema or federal funds to provide emergency shelter for those vulnerable souls who are around the church because they are undocumented. so with that prohibition, we are having to look to private sources of funding, philanthropic sources to try to find enough mo

we need fema to step up and do the right thing.we need work permits for these people that are coming in. if they're here in a country legally, they should be able to work. i could put every single able-bodied adult in my city to work yesterday if they had legal work permits. >> there's like 10 million open jobs. we've seen the real impact of labor shortages across sectors. i want to change the topic to abortion, and your perspective on how your party, the republican party, is handling these questions about abortion now. it is what every presidential candidate in your party needs to answer. and these answers have been sort of all over the map. is it a winning issue for them? they've already got dobbs, overturning roe v. wade. >> yeah, it's not. here's how abortion politics worked until dobbs was overturned. the pro-choice group wasn't really super motivated, because to him, it was always going to be legal, it's not the thing that drives you to polls. pro-life was. now that that has switched, you see the pro-choice crowd being driven

and that's the consideration of that and the issues we can anticipate whether there's a draw on the fema or i maybe a disaster and help is another code and those are the kind of things that will changed that with bipartisan family history on the national debt and outrebounded viewers and listeners get the number to call in with any comments on the issue or any questions you may have for bills, democrats call us at (202)748-8000. if you're a republican, we want you to call us at (202)748-8001. and independents dial (202)748-8002 and we'll get to your calls in just a moment. so, bill, in addition to what you do at the center, you also inhave a long career on capitol hill and you are no stranger to this debate on the debt ceiling. how do youba see it playing outn the current congress over the coming weeks and months. months? >> that's a good question and it's deja vu and i've seen this movie before and this is a bit more scary from my perspective as opposed to the first time i dealt with the debt limit issue as staff director of the budgets limit in 1985 and brought about by the situation w

according to politico, he asked the business community for help and only received 38.5 million from fema don't know, to be clear, about what the financial toll is going to be on cities and states across the country, municipalities like chicago and new york that are taking in migrants or they are getting bussed in. they are coming in fast and furious and the numbers change everyday, but if they stay and be wards of the city, what does that cost? we just don't know yet. it is pretty frightening what it could be. >> ashley: we don't know issue but a lot. cheryl, talk about twitter and elon. >> cheryl: twitter ceo elon musk says twitter will introduce a new female ceo. we expect this announcement next month. he tweeted, my role will transzition to being executive chair and cto, overseeing sys ops and chief technology officer. the new person will be the head of nbc universal linda yakareno. that is a name thrown out there, we'll know officially next month. he had always said he would step back from the role at some point. >> todd: he has 18 other companies he needs to run, there's a lot. >> c

starr, requested $38 million in fema emergency relief for san antonio, in preparation for the expiration of title 42? >> we are watching the collapse of our social safety net that was designed to help americans in need. that's not just at the border, that's everywhere. >> a question for the gentlemen, my colleague from texas. can you explain to us a little bit with respect to the authorities being put forth by the state department to negotiate asylum agreements for the purpose of that? >> yeah, basically the provision reinstates and codifies into law the migrant protection protocols. otherwise known as remain in mexico. in the asylum aca's, the agreement that miss roy you know very well was working. >> we will leave this house rules committee meeting on a border security bill that's expected on the house floor later this week. you can continue watching live on c-span two, on our website, c-span.org, or on our free video app, c-span now. on wednesday, fbi director christopher wray and dea administrator and milligram testified about -- about a number of law enforcement issues. live before

more likely to a flood insurance than residents of any other state. flood insurance is provided by fema of federal agency. there recently changed it's methodology. now, houses that are raised above ground are cheaper to insure, but not everyone can afford to elevate their house. we meet can a birth all the and his brothers who saw little help after recent storms. they make them a prize raise just by forcing people to go up in the air. you know, so everything is, and they told you at the moment, but what the prediction is down the line. so i don't want to feel as fair and i'll feel as you know, is right on the, on the stuff, the database or for home owners. there's little relief in sight. the insurance industry faces an additional problem re insures for the insurance for insurance companies are raising prices by up to 100 percent. and that's all for me from where you can always check out and you don't need to comp slashed business for me. and the entire team here is by taking the marriage is forever. divorce is forbidden. pains that what god has joined together. no man should ever tear a

difficult task to bring about a mindset change and bring about events and education related to the fema for decide and how it is a scene that a crime. so how have some of the injury was being able to do it? i mean, you just mentioned that the sex ratio had improved. how did that improvement? however marginal, it may seem how did that come about to um, i would see um, definitely because of the microscopic uh crossroads. never change. uh, there are a lot of and us if i talk about my own, i and my sister withdrawn and josiah and for the last 12 yours be has been continuously looking around a few months to decide which began from my own journey. when i was not, you know, both come into society because a lot of people around this society did not want a girl in the family. um from that will be understood that there is a need to work with for people with the local communities and hands of our organization with 401 into us. we have been you know, working for education and the wellness and bulk is the. so i believe that us or the other organizations of was way will have worked with people who ha
