Sen. Landrieu urged U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to fully replenish the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Disaster Relief Fund (DRF).
During the hearing held by the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, of which Sen. Landrieu is a member, Sen. Landrieu requested emergency funding from Congress to at least cover the existing shortfall of $1.565 billion for FY11 and questioned Sec. Napolitano on the large budget cuts proposed for FY12.
