US EditionTrump proposed getting rid of FEMA, but his review council seems focused on reforming the agency
The FEMA Review Council, co-chaired by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, focuses on speeding aid and enhancing local emergency management despite proposals to dissolve the agency.
- As recently as June, President Donald Trump suggested `phasing out` FEMA after the 2025 hurricane season, yet the FEMA Review Council he created with 12 members co-chaired by Kristi Noem and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth focused on reforms.
- Members emphasized speeding funds to states and survivors and boosting local and state emergency managers' capacity to accelerate recovery while noting cuts to mitigation programs and FEMA workforce undermine reform efforts.
- Former Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant called the National Flood Insurance Program `vital`, emphasizing its reform and protection as it has existed for over 50 years.
- Some proposed legislation aims to strengthen FEMA and return it to Cabinet-level status, with lawmakers in July introducing a bipartisan reform bill; experts caution significant changes require Congressional action.
- The review council was tasked to deliver recommendations within 180 days, a deadline that has lapsed as proposals remain vague despite exploring federal block grants and parametric insurance.
