FEMA reform plan shifts disaster response to states

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The plan, developed by the FEMA Review Council appointed by President Trump, aims to make FEMA less of an operator and more of a funder and coordinator. This would involve raising the threshold for federal disaster declarations, potentially leading to fewer federal involvements in moderate disasters and placing more responsibility on states and local governments for recovery efforts.
