*Sustainment Urban Area
At first glance, this list is certain to generate some controversy. For example, why did Seattle get less money than its much smaller neighbor to the south, Portland, Oregon? And why did cities like Omaha, Jacksonville, Louisville, and Kansas City all get more funding than Las Vegas? Why did the DC region take such a huge hit, from $77.5 million last year down to $46.47 million? I know that part of the answer to these questions is that “some cities are now better prepared,” but still, I’m curious as to the thinking behind these decisions.
Update (5/31): Here’s the DHS press release on the announcement.
