Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced that the U.S. is prepared for an intense hurricane and wildfire season. However, he expressed concerns about looming budget shortfalls. FEMA, the agency responsible for disaster response, is ready to face the expected challenges, but financial constraints may impact their operations. This announcement follows the first tropical storm of what is predicted to be an overactive hurricane season in the United States. Mayorkas shared these concerns while visiting FEMA's headquarters on Friday, speaking to The Associated Press.
