The federal government spends six times more on disaster recovery than helping communities become resilient to extreme weather that’s predicted to become more intense and frequent in a warming world, a new study shows.
The analysis by the Center for American Progress (CAP), a prominent liberal think tank, labels the approach “pound foolish” and calls for a dedicated fund for “community resilience” fed by higher levies on fossil fuel production.
“We must help communities enhance their ability to withstand the high winds, flood waters, scorching heat, searing wild fires, and parched earth from extreme weather,” states the CAP analysis released Wednesday, which alleges the federal government “woefully underfunds” such efforts.

The National Biodiesel Board (NBB) has hired Lindsay Fitzgerald, an Environmental Protection Agency expert on the national renewable fuels mandate, to be its director of regulatory affairs.
Fitzgerald comes to the newly created position from her role as a specialist in EPA’s Office of Transportation and Air Quality, where she worked on the Renewable Fuel Standard, which mandates increasing amounts of biofuels in the nation’s transportation fuels supply.
“Her extensive knowledge of the RFS will be a tremendous benefit to our industry and to our members as they navigate the program,” Anne Steckel, NBB's vice president of federal affairs, in a statement.

Opponents of proposed coal export terminals in the Pacific Northwest were dealt a blow Tuesday when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said it wouldn’t conduct a broad environmental evaluation for the projects.
Jennifer Moyer, the Corps’s acting regulatory chief, said during a House hearing that there is “no compelling justification” to conduct an area-wide environmental impact statement for each of the three outstanding applications to build coal export terminals in Washington and Oregon.
“They are independent projects in different locations, whose impacts are not related,” she told the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on Energy and Power.
