This week, the House considered the RESILIENT America Act, a bipartisan bill supported by NRMCA and the BuildStrong Coalition that promotes resilient construction by funding predisaster mitigation programs, stronger building codes and pilot programs at FEMA for resilience projects.
NRMCA sent Congress a letter of support along with the BuildStrong Coalition and reported on this important piece of legislation in March at the Government Affairs Committee meeting. NRMCA applauds the House’s action. The RESILIENT America Act is sponsored by several ready mixed concrete champions, including House Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman Peter DeFazio (D-OR), Ranking Member Sam Graves (R-MO) and Reps. Dina Titus (D-NV) and Dan Webster (R-FL).
