SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Under the previous administration, FEMA’s 
2014–2018 Strategic Plan explicitly mentioned and 
referenced climate change as a source of changing 
and increasing national disaster risks, in the near 
and long term, that— 
(A) must be effectively integrated into the 
Agency’s risk assessment resources and proc-
esses; and 
(B) the entire emergency management 
community will need to adapt appropriately to 
as they strengthen their risk management pro-
grams. 
(2) In FEMA’s 2018–2022 Strategic Plan, de-
spite the mounting threat posed by climate change, 
the term ‘‘climate change’’ is entirely absent from 
the text. 
(3) It is the general consensus of the global sci-
entific community that— 
(A) the evidence of climate change is un-
equivocal; 
(B) anthropogenic greenhouse gas emis-
sions are the primary cause of climate change; 
and

FEMA policies, plans, programs, strategies,

and areas where such integration is lacking;

(1) Gun violence is a significant public health 
and safety concern nationwide and is a leading cause 
of death for people in the United States of nearly all 
ages. 
(2) From 2012 to 2017, over 105,000 people in 
the United States were murdered. Nearly 3⁄4 of these 
victims were murdered with a gun. Hundreds of 
thousands more were hospitalized or treated in 
emergency departments after surviving life-changing 
gunshot injuries. 
(3) Gun violence has sharply increased in the 
United States in recent years. Gun homicide rates 
spiked by 30 percent between 2014 and 2017, driven 
by large spikes in violence in some cities in the 
United States. 
(4) Shootings, homicides, and group-related vio-
lence are disproportionately concentrated in the 
poorest and most segregated urban areas of the Na-
tion, and have an enormously disproportionate im-
pact on young people of color in particular. From 
2012 to 2017, African-American children and teens 
were 14 times as likely to be shot to death as their 
White peers. Hispanic children and teens and Native
