In the face of extreme weather, there is no time to waste in keeping Americans safe. When emergency alerts are delayed or incorrect, people fail to evacuate on time, hospitals get overwhelmed, and lives are put in unnecessary danger.

Climate change is shifting the holiday season. Extreme weather has destroyed homes and taken loved ones, and rising costs have placed more burden on families. Trump is making things worse by cutting clean energy investments that protect our health and lower costs.
