President Donald Trump issued an executive order titled “Achieving Efficiency Through State and Local Preparedness.” He stated, “When States are empowered to make smart infrastructure choices, taxpayers benefit.”
The president said, “Commonsense approaches and investments by State and local governments across American infrastructure will enhance national security and create a more resilient Nation. Federal policy must rightly recognize that preparedness is most effectively owned and managed at the State, local, and even individual levels, supported by a competent, accessible, and efficient Federal Government.”
He continued, “Citizens are the immediate beneficiaries of sound local decisions and investments designed to address risks, including cyber attacks, wildfires, hurricanes, and space weather… This order empowers State, local, and individual preparedness and injects common sense into infrastructure prioritization and strategic investments through risk-informed decisions that make our infrastructure, communities, and economy resilient to global and dynamic threats and hazards.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- That President Trump receives the Lord’s guidance in his efforts to strengthen national security through supporting state and local preparedness.
- For officials in the president’s cabinet to be discerning as they seek to implement his agenda.
- For House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader Thune as they preside over their respective chambers of Congress.
