Rep. Josh Harder, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing California's 9th district, has been active on social media addressing issues related to natural disasters and community preparedness. Harder, who succeeded Jeff Denham in 2019, shared updates on efforts to improve readiness for future events and emphasized the need for better support for wildfire victims.
On January 27, 2025, Rep. Harder reflected on past floods in Acampo that affected hundreds of homes in 2023. He announced a positive development: "Remember the floods in Acampo in 2023? 100s of homes flooded, it was terrible. Glad to share we’re bringing $1.3M in new equipment home so our communities are better prepared for the next storm".
The following day, January 28, he addressed the treatment of wildfire victims by governmental bodies: "Wildfire victims aren’t political pawns. California and DC need to stop treating them like they are and start getting them the help they deserve. Enough excuses."
On January 29, Rep. Harder encouraged constituents to stay informed through his newsletter: "Don't miss important updates—sign up for my newsletter here:"
