New Executive Order Threatens FEMA’s Existence

President Trump’s relentless efforts to diminish the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have culminated in a disturbing announcement from Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Noem, who declared in a recent cabinet meeting: “We’re going to eliminate FEMA.” Despite lacking the legal authority to abolish FEMA, both Secretary Noem and President Trump’s actions pose a severe threat to the millions of individuals who rely on the agency for disaster preparedness and recovery.

Fortunately, bipartisan legislation has been introduced to transform FEMA back into a stand-alone, cabinet-level agency, as it once was before the formation of the Department of Homeland Security. This bill, introduced by Republican Representative Byron Donalds and Democrat Representative Jared Moskowitz, aims to preserve FEMA’s critical role in safeguarding communities from disasters.

President Trump’s latest executive order, titled “Achieving Efficiency Through State and Local Preparedness,” signifies a major shift in federal disaster response policy. The order emphasizes shifting the burden of disaster response onto state and local governments, a move that could result in chaos and inefficacy, particularly during peak disaster seasons.

Key Points:

1. Shifting National Resilience Responsibility: The executive order seeks to transfer more disaster resilience and response responsibilities to state and local governments, potentially endangering lives by overburdening jurisdictions ill-equipped to handle catastrophic events.

2. National Resilience Strategy: The order calls for the development of a new national resilience strategy within 90 days, a move that could overlook crucial climate change-related risks and fail to prioritize the needs of vulnerable communities.

3. Critical Infrastructure Policy Revision: The review and potential revision of critical infrastructure policies could jeopardize the progress made in strengthening infrastructure resilience, particularly in addressing emerging threats like climate change.

4. Streamlining Continuity Policies: Efforts to streamline national continuity policies may disrupt FEMA’s essential functions and impede the agency’s ability to maintain operational readiness during emergencies.

5. Preparedness and Response Policy Review: The review and potential revision of national preparedness and response policies could lead to a significant shift away from an all-hazards approach, potentially undermining FEMA’s comprehensive disaster response capabilities.

6. National Risk Register Development: The establishment of a national risk register could help quantify risks to national infrastructure, but failure to account for climate change risks may result in incomplete risk assessments.

7. Organizational Structure Streamlining: Efforts to streamline national preparedness and continuity organizational structures may disrupt FEMA’s operational efficiency and impede effective disaster response.

As the implementation of the executive order unfolds, it is imperative for stakeholders to closely monitor the outcomes and advocate for evidence-based reforms that prioritize community safety and resilience. The public’s input on FEMA’s disaster response efforts, as solicited in a recent request for information, will play a crucial role in shaping the future of disaster preparedness and response in the United States.

Preserving FEMA’s resources and upholding science-informed, evidence-based changes are essential in safeguarding communities from the devastating impacts of disasters. Bipartisan support for FEMA is critical in ensuring that the agency remains a reliable and effective partner in disaster preparedness and recovery.
