White House – May 3, 2026
During National Hurricane Preparedness Week, I encourage every American living in high-risk coastal areas to take proactive steps to protect their families, homes, and neighborhoods before a natural disaster strikes.
Through information and proper emergency preparedness, we can reduce disasters, protect human lives, and recover more quickly from these dangerous storms.
As hurricane season approaches, every citizen can take meaningful steps today by investing in protecting their property, creating emergency plans, and gathering essential supplies.
Staying informed about storm forecasts and evacuation routes helps families be prepared to respond quickly when needed. These simple actions not only protect lives and homes, but also strengthen our nation's resilience for generations to come.
State, local governments, and communities themselves are on the front lines of hurricane preparedness. With the full support of the Federal Government, local communities can more effectively utilize available resources, reduce bureaucracy, and rebuild faster and stronger.
Under my leadership, we are investing in the people closest to these disasters to take preventative measures and lead recovery where needed most. Together, we will ensure that no American is left without the support they need.
Americans deserve a government that protects their lives, responds to their needs in times of crisis, and invests in resources that prevent the devastating effects of hurricanes on our communities.
That's why my administration is continuing to reform the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), transforming it into a more effective and flexible partner for the American people.
We have significantly reduced the time it takes to provide financial assistance to hurricane victims, to send FEMA forces to affected areas, and to complete the debris removal work that families need and deserve.
This week, our thoughts and prayers are with every family in our country affected by deadly hurricanes. At the same time, we express our deepest gratitude to the countless rescuers and first responders who risk their safety to save lives, help those in need, and contribute to a speedy recovery, while taking steps to prevent and limit the damage from future storms.
