Donovan looks to reform FEMA with legislation
U.S. Rep. Dan Donovan, who was elected to Congress in May, introduced his first piece of legislation on Sept. 9, a bill to overhaul the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) which came under fire in many quarters for its response to Superstorm Sandy.
Donovan (R-C-Southwest Brooklyn-Staten Island) said his proposed legislation, the Flood Insurance Mitigation and Policyholder Protection Act (FIMPPA), will help homeowners.
His district was hit hard by Superstorm Sandy, he said. The storm blew into New York City on Oct. 29, 2012 and many homeowners are still struggling to recover.
