纽森致信国会两党领袖：申请约400亿美元联邦援助支持洛杉矶山火灾后恢复

2025年2月21日，加利福尼亚州州长 Gavin Newsom 致信国会两党领袖，为加州洛杉矶县2025年1月山火的灾后恢复申请联邦补充拨款，总额39,680,737,878美元，约合400亿美元。信函发给众议院议长 Mike Johnson、众议院少数党领袖 Hakeem Jeffries、众议院拨款委员会主席 Tom Cole 与资深民主党委员 Rosa DeLauro 等国会领导人，请国会尽快提供灾难资金，帮助加州人恢复和重建。

这场山火自2025年1月7日起在洛杉矶县燃起，以 Pacific Palisades 与 Altadena 两场大火破坏最重，飓风级强风助长了火势。据州长信函所述，大火烧毁逾16,200座建筑，造成至少29人死亡；外界对总经济损失的估算超过2,500亿美元。纽森在信中表示，这场灾难可能成为美国历史上损失最惨重的自然灾害。

申请中最大一笔是给联邦紧急事务管理局（FEMA）的168亿美元公共援助，用于废墟清理、危险废物处置、医疗设施与学校等公共基础设施修复；其次是给住房与城市发展部（HUD）的99亿美元社区发展整笔拨款灾难恢复资金，帮助受灾居民、房主、租户、企业与地方政府重建住房及配套基础设施。信函另申请小企业管理局（SBA）52.9亿美元低息灾难贷款、商务部经济发展局43.2亿美元企业恢复拨款，以及20亿美元低收入住房税收抵免额度。

其余申请包括水利基础设施4.323亿美元、联邦土地山火韧性工作3.5亿美元、交通基础设施1.01亿美元、劳动力托儿与健康服务3.758亿美元、失业工人援助5,100万美元等。按用途划分，社区与私人财产恢复约273亿美元、企业恢复约96亿美元、税收激励20亿美元、劳动力恢复与山火韧性各约4亿美元。

纽森在信中写道：「洛杉矶是全球经济产出最高的地方之一，但只有得到联邦政府的支持，它才能从这场前所未有的灾难中反弹并繁荣起来。」他当天在社交平台写道：「我请求国会站在美国人民一边，尽快提供灾难资金，帮助加利福尼亚人恢复和重建。」信中还表示，这场火灾对加州经济的总体影响需要数年才能完全量化，加州今后可能还需要申请更多资金；纽森并感谢特朗普政府在加快废墟清理方面给予的支持。

在此之前，加州已先行投入：州长1月23日签署立法，提供逾25亿美元州级紧急救灾资金；时任总统拜登1月8日批准加州重大灾难声明。2月初，纽森曾赴华盛顿特区，与特朗普总统及国会两党成员会面，争取联邦灾后援助。

Newsom Asks Congressional Leaders for Nearly $40 Billion in Federal Aid for Los Angeles Wildfire Recovery

On February 21, 2025, California Governor Gavin Newsom wrote to bipartisan leaders in Congress seeking a federal supplemental appropriation of $39,680,737,878 — nearly $40 billion — to support recovery from the January 2025 wildfires in Los Angeles County, California. The letter went to House leaders including Speaker Mike Johnson, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Appropriations Committee Chair Tom Cole and Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro, asking Congress to provide disaster funding as soon as possible to help Californians recover and rebuild.

The fires began in Los Angeles County on January 7, 2025, with the Palisades and Eaton fires doing the worst damage, driven by hurricane-force winds. According to the governor's letter, the fires destroyed more than 16,200 structures and killed at least 29 people, and estimates of the total economic loss surpassed $250 billion. Newsom wrote that the disaster could become the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history.

The largest single request was $16.8 billion in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) public assistance for debris removal, hazardous waste disposal and repairs to public infrastructure including health care facilities and schools. Next was $9.9 billion in Community Development Block Grant disaster recovery funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), to help fire victims, homeowners, renters, businesses and local governments rebuild housing and supporting infrastructure. The letter also sought $5.29 billion in Small Business Administration (SBA) disaster loans, $4.32 billion in Economic Development Administration business recovery grants, and $2 billion in low-income housing tax credits.

Other requests included $432.3 million for water infrastructure, $350 million for wildfire resilience work on federal lands, $101 million for transportation infrastructure, $375.8 million for workforce child care and health services, and $51 million for dislocated worker assistance. By category, community and private property recovery accounted for about $27.3 billion, business recovery about $9.6 billion, tax incentives $2 billion, and workforce recovery and wildfire resilience about $400 million each.

"Los Angeles is one of the most economically productive places on the globe, but it can only rebound and flourish with support from the federal government as it recovers from this unprecedented disaster," Newsom wrote. In a social media post that day, he wrote: "I'm asking Congress to have the back of the American people and provide disaster funding to help Californians recover and rebuild as soon as possible." The letter said the total impact on California's economy would take years to fully quantify and that the state might request more funds in the future, and it thanked President Donald Trump's administration for its support in fast-tracking debris removal.

California had already committed its own funds: on January 23 the governor signed legislation providing more than $2.5 billion in immediate state disaster relief, and on January 8 then-President Joe Biden had approved a major disaster declaration for California. Earlier in February, Newsom traveled to Washington, D.C., where he met with President Trump and members of Congress from both parties to press for federal recovery aid.
