Summary

Memorializes the loss of more than 4,000 lives due to the Okeechobee Hurricane of 1928. Recognizes: (1) the importance of hurricane preparedness measures, enhanced evacuation, emergency plans, and disaster response training in economically disadvantaged communities to prevent a disproportionate impact of natural disasters and disparities in disaster response; and (2) the role of relevant federal agencies, research institutes, universities, and disaster response organizations in such activities to better prepare for, respond to, and mitigate the impacts of storms and hurricanes. Expresses support for initiatives to enhance our understanding of mitigation impacts on physical structures. Urges the federal, state, and local governments to: (1) commemorate the 80th anniversary of Okeechobee Hurricane; (2) recognize mass graves of the victims; (3) act to quickly repair and rehabilitate dikes, water management systems, and other infrastructure in hurricane-prone regions designated by the Army Corps of Engineers with Class I "urgent and compelling" vulnerability and to encourage hurricane and disaster preparedness, education, response, and mitigation; and (4) support programs that promote disaster preparedness, education, response, and mitigation in economically disadvantaged and migrant communities. Recommits to hurricane preparedness, safety education, response, and mitigation for all communities.
