The Trump administration has been taking steps to significantly reduce the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) capabilities ahead of the 2025 hurricane season, which experts predict will be above normal. Actions include cutting funding and changing policies such as not automatically approving resiliency funds as part of major disaster declarations. These moves have raised concerns about FEMA's ability to provide timely and coordinated support to communities impacted by disasters. Despite efforts to dismantle or severely curtail FEMA, the administration is reportedly attempting to maintain some key functions of the agency, as there is no backup plan in place. Lawmakers are pressing for clarity on the administration's plans to address disaster response and relief amid these changes.
