Well, thanks, everybody, for being here and particularly you for hosting us, Mayor.
Look, we're here to talk about extreme weather. We're here to talk about a briefing my—from my team on what we're going to face this summer. And it's going to be significant.
And by the way, you've got the guy running this show doing the elevator too. I get in the elevator—he's operating the elevator. He does it all, man. [Laughter] I tell you what.
So we're going to face a tough summer, but we've taken significant steps to ameliorate the concerns. That's what we want to talk about, so why don't we get started. Why don't we get the meeting underway.
NOTE: The President spoke at 12:23 p.m. at the DC Emergency Operations Center. In his remarks, he referred to Mayor Muriel E. Bowser and Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency Acting Director Clint Osborn of Washington, DC.
