In particular, Senator Sheldon, the following actions have been taken—and this is in addition to the $2.5 billion that we are providing in financial support in response to the devastating flood. The COMDISPLAN was activated, as you know, on 25 February. We activated the national emergency declaration on 11 March 2022. (Time expired)
