Council to Assess the Federal Emergency Management Agency

President Donald Trump has established the Federal Emergency Management Agency Review Council to evaluate and improve FEMA's effectiveness in disaster response. This council, comprising up to 20 members including the Secretaries of Homeland Security and Defense, will assess FEMA's past performance, explore potential political biases, and recommend structural changes. The initiative could lead to significant reforms in disaster management, potentially impacting how swiftly and impartially aid is provided to Americans, while also raising legal and political discussions about FEMA's current operations and federal-state dynamics.
