Support funding recovery for damaged national parks and their communities.

National parks stand as some of the most consistent symbols of resilience throughout moments in history. But now, as they face unprecedented challenges related to climate change, is the worst possible time to cut critical relief short. Disasters ranging from floods to hurricanes, fires and more not only threaten our parks’ irreplaceable natural and cultural treasures but also the economic well-being of surrounding communities.

Delays in disaster relief funding could worsen the financial strain on the Park Service and delay essential repairs. If Congress doesn’t include our parks in the relief package they are considering now, some repairs will take years or never be completed. Swift, substantial disaster funding will be crucial for the recovery of national parks, ensuring they can rebuild infrastructure and continue to welcome millions of visitors safely each year and support local economies.

Urge Congress to fund robust relief for communities and the billions of dollars needed to repair and rebuild our national parks.

I write as your constituent to urge you to support funding recovery for devastated communities and for damaged national parks in the disaster supplemental bill currently being negotiated. As a strong supporter of America’s national parks, I ask that you please speak with leadership and appropriators about providing $2.3 billion for the many disasters that have damaged and destroyed park infrastructure over the last year and a half.

More than two dozen parks have been impacted and need $2.3 billion in funding. The Blue Ridge Parkway received catastrophic damage, with dozens of sections of roadway washed out, thousands of downed trees and other damage to America’s most visited national park and a tourism driver for communities throughout.

The recent hurricanes also damaged numerous parks in Florida and elsewhere. But even before these recent hurricanes, $600 million in damage built up from fires, floods, heavy snowfall, mudslides and landslides, a tornado and more at Olympic, Death Valley, Yosemite, Chickasaw, Bandelier, and other parks throughout the country.

These and other disasters have befallen our national parks, threatening public access and the tourism economy on which so many communities rely. Please do everything you can to ensure that Congress provides robust relief for communities and the $2.3 billion in needs to repair and rebuild our national parks in the disaster supplemental bill being negotiated.
