Current and former FEMA staff have gathered for a “FEMA Solidarity Rally” outside the agency's headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Friday.
President Donald Trump has floated the idea of “getting rid of” the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which manages federal disaster response.
Just weeks ago, President Donald Trump said he wanted to begin “phasing out” the Federal Emergency Management Agency after this hurricane season to “wean off of FEMA” and “bring it down to the state level.”.
President Donald Trump’s plan to begin “phasing out” the federal agency that responds to disasters after the 2025 hurricane season is likely to put more responsibilities on states to provide services following increasingly frequent and expensive climate disasters, experts say.
With concern and confusion over how the federal government will respond to disasters this summer, aid groups are readying to expand the ways they help communities after hurricanes, fires and other storms.
