The resolution, introduced by a group of Michigan representatives, calls on the Trump-Vance administration to reverse its decision to deny federal disaster relief funding for northern Michigan following a devastating ice storm in March 2025. The storm caused significant damage, leaving many residents without power and essential services, and leading to considerable physical, emotional, and financial hardships for families, farmers, and small businesses in the region. The state of Michigan had requested federal assistance under the Stafford Act to aid in recovery efforts, but the administration's denial of this aid is viewed as a betrayal of the trust placed in them by northern Michigan voters.

The resolution emphasizes that the refusal to provide disaster relief not only hampers the recovery of affected communities but also reflects a disregard for the well-being of Michiganders. It urges the administration to fulfill its responsibility to support citizens during times of crisis and to provide the full amount of requested funding. The resolution concludes by stating that copies will be sent to key federal officials, including the President and members of the Michigan congressional delegation, to advocate for the necessary assistance.
