国土安全部停摆可能会延迟FEMA的灾难响应，危及生命，同时气候灾难不断升高。 A DHS shutdown could delay FEMA’s disaster response, risking lives amid rising climate disasters.

FEMA前执行官Deanne Criswell警告说,国土安全部的关闭可能严重干扰FEMA的救灾工作,尽管该机构有能力独立运作。 Former FEMA administrator Deanne Criswell warned that a Department of Homeland Security shutdown could severely disrupt FEMA’s disaster response, despite the agency’s ability to operate independently. 她强调了人员配置、供资和协调方面的风险,这可能延误紧急部署和对受影响社区的援助。 She highlighted risks to staffing, funding, and coordination, which could delay emergency deployments and aid to affected communities. Criswell强调,即使资金缺口不足,也可能妨碍反应时间,削弱国家备灾能力,特别是在与气候有关的灾害不断增加的情况下。 Criswell stressed that even short funding gaps could hinder response times and weaken national preparedness, especially amid increasing climate-related disasters.
