This vote was on an amendment offered by Rep. Frelinghuysen (R-NJ), which would add an additional $33.67 billion to H.R. 152, the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013, to support and rebuild communities ravaged by Hurricane Sandy. A portion of this assistance would be directed towards improving resiliency to future storms and minimizing future damage by rebuilding and investing in natural storm protections, such as national parks and refuges that house wetlands, dunes, and other natural flood barriers. It would also assist the USDA in restoring damaged forestlands, as well as require the Army Corps of Engineers to reevaluate previously authorized projects to incorporate projections on climate change impacts, including extreme weather events like Hurricane Sandy. The Frelinghuysen amendment was approved on January 15, 2013 by a vote of 228-192 (House roll call vote 22).
