In the midst of hurricane season and nearly 20 years since Katrina, Trump is suspending #USACE levee inspections in New Orleans for 2 years. Levee safety is not optional and the cost of prevention is far less than the cost — in lives and dollars — of another catastrophic failure.

PNWA thanks Rep. Dan Newhouse for elevating PNW priorities at this week’s FY26 budget hearing on the Corps’ Civil Works program. His thoughtful questions emphasized the need for continued investment in navigation, dam safety, water resources, and agency staff capacity. #PNW #infrastructure #USACE
The #USACE funds numerous infrastructure projects in #California, including dams, ports, and other water infrastructure. #Cuts would halt these projects, impacting #water management, #flood control, and #transportation. #BlueCrew
