Trump Announces FEMA Overhaul During North Carolina Visit
What's going on with FEMA? During his first domestic trip as president, Trump announced plans to overhaul the Federal Emergency Management Agency while visiting hurricane-ravaged North Carolina. He criticized FEMA's response to Hurricane Helene, promising to 'do a good job' and extend the deadline for hotel assistance for thousands of families. Trump also hinted at shifting more responsibility to individual states for disaster response.
While in California, he'll survey the damage from wildfires and discuss water policies. But what does this mean for the future of disaster management in the US?
