Erin McMahon says the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) owes her state, Oregon, a lot of money, and it's starting to cause disruptions.
"In total, we've got $129 million in federal dollars that are frozen," said McMahon, the director of Oregon's Department of Emergency Management. She said FEMA owes Oregon that money for disasters and disaster mitigation for events like severe winter storms, flooding, mudslides and wildfires.
On top of that, McMahon said money to pay the salaries of local emergency managers across the state comes from FEMA.
" We're not gonna be able to pay them in April unless we get the funding from the federal government," she told NPR.
