Teton County commissioners voted unanimously to send a letter supporting the Fixing Emergency Management for Americans Act (H.R. 466), a federal bill discussed at a Feb. 12 special meeting.

Commissioner Powers described the bill as one that “really strengthens the emergency management agency, FEMA,” and said local stakeholder Greg Adams "gave it two thumbs up." Commissioners expressed concern about continuing uncertainty over FEMA’s role and said the letter would encourage congressional action to help FEMA’s planning processes.

A motion to submit the letter of support was moved and carried with no dissent. Commissioners directed staff to forward the signed letter to the local congressman.
