Article Synopsis – FEMA, the federal government’s first responder to floods, hurricanes and other natural disasters, has eliminated references to climate change from its strategic planning document, which outlines plans for building preparedness, for the next four years.

There are no references to global warming, rising sea levels, extreme weather events or any other term related to climate change. To read the actual article click here.
