Council To Assess the Federal Emergency Management Agency

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on January 24, 2025, establishing a Council to review the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This Council aims to assess FEMA's effectiveness and impartiality in disaster response, particularly in light of allegations of political bias and mismanagement. The Council's findings could lead to significant reforms in FEMA's operations, potentially impacting how disaster relief is administered across the United States, and may stir political debate over FEMA's role and efficiency.
