A select group of lawmakers will be focused on specific, hurricane-related policy recommendations over the next two weeks.
Each member of the House Select Committee on Hurricane Response and Preparedness on Friday was assigned a specific area of focus. Chair Jeanette Nuñez, a Miami Republican, grouped the issues into categories following the five educational meetings held by the committee.
“To ensure that we cover all the issue areas, I am asking that you work with staff over the next two weeks to develop possible recommendations for the specific issue categories indicated below,” Nuñez wrote in an email to committee members.
Here are the assignments:
Evacuation: Reps. Robert Asencio, Michael Grant, and Holly Raschein.
Energy: Reps. Tracie Davis, Dane Eagle, and Jay Trumbull
Shelters and Vulnerable Populations: Reps. Danny Burgess, Cord Byrd, and Sean Shaw
Health Care Facilities and Medical Care: Vice Chair Ray Rodrigues and Reps. Chris Sprowls and Richard Stark
Agriculture: Reps. Ben Albritton, Kristin Jacobs, and Elizabeth Porter
Future Hurricane Expenditures and Tax Relief: Reps. Grant, Jared Moskowitz, and Paul Renner
Housing: Reps. Bob Cortes, Davis, and Raschein
Beaches, Sanitary Sewers, Stormwater, Flooding, and Debris Removal: Reps. Eagle, Jacobs, and Cyndi Stevenson
Education: Reps. Asencio , Cortes, and Porter
The committee next convenes on Monday, Dec. 4.

Mitigation? That’s what we do to prevent damage from hurricanes. I guess the housing committee could look at building standards and whether rebuilding is allowed everywhere.
