FEMA Storm Response Chief Resigns Amid Leadership Exodus, Trump-Era Cuts Raise Hurricane Season Concerns

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is experiencing a leadership crisis as the head of its storm response center has resigned amid a broader exodus of agency leaders. This development comes as the hurricane season begins, raising concerns about FEMA's preparedness to manage disaster response effectively. Discussions around the impact of recent federal government cuts, particularly those implemented during President Trump's administration, have intensified, with critics questioning whether these reductions have compromised the nation's ability to respond to hurricanes. In Florida, where property insurance challenges persist, experts emphasize the importance of affordable hurricane-proofing measures to mitigate risks during the storm season.
