WASHINGTON -- FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell addressed the
nation’s western governors today at the Western Governors'
Association 2021 Winter Meeting
[https://westgov.org/meetings/details/2021-winter-meeting] in
Coronado, California.

Administrator Criswell’s speech focused on the need to advance
climate resilience, the value of mitigation and preparedness and our
shared responsibility to equitably distribute resources and
information.

“We are clearly at a turning point,” Criswell said. “The actions
we take now will have a tremendous impact on future generations, so it
is imperative that we act with purpose and solidarity to adapt, become
more resilient and face the future with an optimism born from bold
action.”

Administrator Criswell's remarks outlined her strategic vision for the
next five years at FEMA. FEMA will instill equity as a foundation of
emergency management, lead the whole of community in climate
resilience and promote and sustain a ready FEMA and prepared nation.
She noted that the agency will only be successful in these efforts
insofar as it effectively collaborates with its state, local,
territorial and tribal partners.
