The 114th congress, i stated that my top Emergency Management priority was pursuing life saving and cost reducing disaster legislation and launching a Public Policy debate about the costs of disasters in terms of both the loss of property and human life. We follow that hearing with several round tables to help us understand what disasters cost this country, who pays those costs and whether the problem is Getting Better or worse. Early last year, Ranking Member carson and i introduced the fema format to call for the First Comprehensive assessment of disaster cost and losses in over 20 years. We also wanted to reform several Disaster Assistance programs to make them more efficient. If february, the house passed the fema legislation and we hope the senate will take up hr1471 and pass it soon. The purpose of todays hearing is to discuss what we have learned so far and begin exploring potential solutions, particularly the principals that should be driving those solutions. While there are si
[ inaudible ] thank you for the opportunity to talk about the center and quite honestly the state im very proud of, the state of indiana. Weve been around since 1989. Weve got 27 years of successfully linking community and academic expertise. Our goals are to build capacity in a states agency. The volunteer associations, the citizens of the state of indiana and so forth. Weve done a lot of work in emergency management, but the reason weve been successful is not because uniquely of the resources in our center but because of the atmosphere that exists in the state of indiana.

The approach we take is highly collaborative, so unlike many situations that we hear about where a plan is created and set aside on a shelf, if you would, which unfortunately i think does of
Somebody who was my question is, your analysis said we should go back to a prior state but unfortunately, the three pillars dont address the problem of turkey. And turkey would be in the third one, and would be part of the solution, it is a beautiful country and it is working towards prosperity for its own population, by spreading them across the rest of europe. But revisiting those three pillars dont help with the fact that almost literally, the trojan horse is being rolled into europe. So im wondering, is that is that intentional on your part . Or do you not see the turkish issue as being that big . Or is it because the United States doesnt have a good answer to that . Ted bromund there are larger questions there which we cant address about the nature of the u. S. Policy towards the regime. I share all of your skepticism and maybe, even more, of the nature of the experiment in turkey, which i think is severely damaged, if not destroyed. One of the very few states in the middle east t
