Well call this hearing to order. Today we are welcoming the administrator of the federal Emergency Management agency, mr. Brock long. Were here to talk about response to recovery to hurricane irma, maria and harvey and the wild fires. Thank you for being here. I want to thank you and the thousands of dedicated fema personnel who have deployed and who continue to work tirelessly to help communities and families get back on their feet in the wake of in every instance of these devastating events. Congress has passed two emergency sup lementals which have provided an additional 26 billion to ensure femas ability to response to immediate aftermath of disasters. Now is the time to shift focus from response to recovery. And while some of these efforts are already underway, theres still a very long road ahead. Today we look forward to hearing from you on how this third supplemental request, 23. 5 billion will enable communities to start down the long path of longterm recovery. Mr. Long, please
