President Biden is in California to announce $600 million to fight climate-driven disasters. The move comes as he seeks to shore up support from environmentalists.
“The impacts we’re seeing from climate change are only going to get more frequent, more ferocious and more costly,” Biden said Monday, during a visit to the Lucy Evans Baylands Nature Interpretive Center and Preserve, adding that his efforts to boost resilience would turn “peril into progress.”
As part of Biden’s visit, California was set to receive more than $67.4 million in funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to bolster its power grid in the coming days, the White House announced Sunday. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also planned to launch the $575 million Climate Resilience Regional Challenge this week to help coastal communities build resilience to extreme weather.
The 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law set aside nearly $7 billion to support the Federal Emergency Management Administration’s resilience and mitigation programs. To date, the agency has announced more than $370 million in awards from those programs.
