Aderholt Statement on Tropical Storm Isaac

Washington, D.C.— Today Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04), Chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on the House Appropriations Committee, released the following statement regarding Tropical Storm Isaac.

"As Tropical Storm Isaac continues to develop and intensify, I know everyone is concerned of the storm's potential impact on the Gulf Coast and the entire region which includes my home state of Alabama. My staff and I are continuing to monitor Isaac's track, FEMA's preparations and current disaster relief funding levels. I will be in touch with Governor Bentley and members of the Alabama Congressional delegation as the storm's path becomes more certain and should emergency assistance become necessary. We are committed to working together to ensure that resources will be available without delay. In the meantime, I urge those in the path of the storm to take the storm seriously, stay informed and take the necessary precautions.

Aderholt currently serves as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Homeland Security for the powerful House Appropriations Committee, which is responsible for funding FEMA. He is a member of the Committee's Commerce, Justice and Science; and Agriculture Subcommittees, and also serves on the Helsinki Commission.
