Department of Homeland Security DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said during a Cabinet meeting this week That she would and will eliminate the Federal Emergency Management Agency, better known as FEMA. While providing a report on the border and Coast Guard operations, Christine Noem said, quote, we're going to eliminate FEMA. She did not provide more details. That's great. Great job, President Donald Trump said in response to Noem's remarks during the meeting. Earlier this year, Trump suggested in public remarks that he may dissolve the Emergency Management Agency or at least overhaul it. Quote, I'll also be signing an executive order to begin the process of fundamentally reforming and overhauling FEMA or maybe getting rid of FEMA altogether. I think, frankly, FEMA is not good, Trump said in January. He mentioned it again when he visited the aftermath of wildfires in Los Angeles in January, saying, quote, I say you don't need FEMA. You need a good state government. FEMA is a very expensive, in my opinion, mostly failed situation. After Trump said he wanted to overhaul or scrap FEMA. The agency's acting head, Cameron Hamilton, wrote to the staff to assure them that FEMA is a critical agency which performs an essential mission in support of our national security. Hamilton is a former Navy SEAL whom Trump appointed to temporarily lead the agency. On March 19, Trump signed an order that seeks to hand over responsibility to state and local governments to deal with natural disasters or cyber attacks. Federal policy must rightly recognize that preparedness is most effectively owned and managed at the state, local, and even individual levels, supported by a competent, accessible, and efficient federal government. The order stated, quote, citizens are the immediate beneficiaries of sound local decisions and investments designed to address risk, including cyberattacks, wildfires, hurricanes, space weather, and other events. The order is designed to provide more power to the state, local, and individuals to prepare efforts and will bring more common sense into the infrastructure prioritization and strategic investment through the risk-informed decision that makes our infrastructure communities and economy resilient to global and dynamic threats and hazards. FEMA has a workforce of over 20,000 staffers. That can increase to well over 50,000 staffers during active disasters, according to the agency's website. The agency was officially created in 1979 and was placed under the Department of Homeland Security in 2004. Can you say, bye Felicia? God bless. We can only all hope.
