FOLSOM, Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom met with new Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Deanne Criswell at drought-stricken Folsom Lake on Thursday to emphasize the need for an accelerated response to combatting climate change.
During the meeting and tour of the lake with Criswell, Newsom signed a resources budget trailer bill that aims to ramp up the state’s response to the severe drought.
The trailer bill, Assembly Bill 148, according to the governor’s office, “implements important drought response programs and accelerates deployment of a $3.9 billion investment for zero-emissions vehicle program.” The bill adds to the $5.1 billion that was already allocated for drought relief and preparedness in the state budget and the $2.2 billion for wildfire resilience.
