U.S. Approves Additional $1 Million for Nepal Flood Victim Identification, Totaling Over $5 Million in Aid

The United States has approved an additional $1 million in funding to assist Nepal in identifying victims of recent floods. This new allocation brings the total State Department assistance for the disaster response to over $5 million. The funding is specifically designated for forensic support to the Nepal Police, with the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs overseeing its distribution. U.S. officials are collaborating with Nepali authorities to determine the most pressing needs, including the provision of DNA analysis kits. This forensic aid complements existing funding for emergency food, shelter, healthcare, and other relief efforts for communities affected by the floods. Additionally, FBI forensic specialists are working alongside the Nepal Police on disaster victim identification to help identify the deceased and provide answers to families, including those of American citizens.

Representative Kiley Attends Ribbon-Cutting for New Sacramento Light Rail Station

U.S. Representative Kevin Kiley (I-Rocklin) was present at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Dos Rios light rail station in Sacramento. The station, located on North 12th Street between Richards Boulevard and Sunbeam Avenue in the city's River District, marks the completion of a project that has been over 20 years in the making. Sacramento Regional Transit (RT), along with local, state, and federal partners, celebrated the new Blue Line station, which is situated near Marisol Village, a mixed-income rental community. The $42.8 million project was funded through a combination of state and federal funds. While construction is complete, the station will not open to the public for several weeks as it awaits approval from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). RT anticipates receiving consent within two weeks, after which an opening date will be confirmed.
