Restore Louisiana Task Force - Proposed Subcommittees
Collection of members, dates, projects, when members went silent and/or stopped actively working within the subcommittees.
From: Erin Monroe Wesley Special Counsel (Policy Director/Legislative Affairs) 9-29-2016 to Task Force Members
"... Congress passed a Continuing Resolution yesterday that included $500 million in flood relief funding for Louisiana and other states. We would like to thank Louisiana's Congressional Delegation, Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser, and Commissioner Mike Strain for their support of these efforts. The President is expected to sign the bill today. While the final amount for Louisiana is still to be set, this means we can anticipate an initial amount of Disaster Community Development Block Grant funds in the neighborhood of $400 million. The task force must immediately focus on how to prioritize the expenditure of this initial investment of CDBG funds, while we all work collectively to continue pursuing additional federal assistance. "
"... staff recommends that the Restore Louisiana Task Force form six (6) subcommittees that align with the National Disaster Recovery Framework Recovery Support functions.
Those 6 RSF areas are:
These 6 areas encompass core recovery capabilities, and would be supported by an existing infrastructure of both federal and state agencies to compile data and information to feed to the subcommittees in order to drive decisions. Attached to this e-mail, please find staff recommended subcommittee assignments.
