Eric Swalwell Instagram – There have been over 12,000 extreme weather, climate, and water-related events over the last 50 years, resulting in the deaths of more than two million people and $4.3 trillion in economic damages according to a recent report by the World Meteorological Organization. These crises are not going to stop, which is why today, Rep. González-Colón and I introduced our Preventing Our Next Natural Disaster Act, a bipartisan bill that would help communities better prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters.
