Trump Plans to Phase Out FEMA
President Donald Trump announced plans to begin phasing out the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) after the hurricane season, stating states will receive less federal aid for disaster response. He proposed that disaster relief funds would be distributed directly from his office, marking a significant shift from current protocols where FEMA manages aid distribution. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the need for states to collaborate on disaster responses and suggesting a more independent approach to emergency management.
