President Trump announced plans to phase out FEMA after this hurricane season, raising serious concerns about disaster response as states already rely on the agency's support. The upcoming Atlantic hurricane season is predicted to be above-normal, and with the ongoing effects of climate change, the need for a robust federal disaster response is critical. As FEMA's resources dwindle, the ability to effectively manage disasters may be compromised, potentially leading to severe consequences for affected states and communities.
States will have to come into their own and take responsibility for disaster response, especially in the wake of FEMA's impending phase-out, which some fear will lead to casualties.
Despite Trump's belief that governors should be in charge, the reality is that without FEMA's financial and logistical support, states will struggle during large-scale disasters.
