Trump Administration Plans to Eliminate FEMA | JQJO

The Trump administration plans to eliminate the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) by 2025, shifting disaster response responsibility to states. This follows claims of FEMA's inefficiency and aims to reduce federal spending. A FEMA Review Council is recommending changes, potentially including a simplified disaster relief payment system and reduced federal aid. Congress, however, is pursuing bipartisan reform, focusing on improved disaster preparedness and streamlining aid applications, differing from the administration's proposed cuts.
