federal disaster mitigation fund disbursement is "in the dumper'

The chart came to me via Derrick Hiebert and LinkedIn. He was, by the way, an Senior Executive Service (SES) handling mitigation for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) until he left, like many other talented staff, in 2025.
