Presidents fully control FEMA aid. The operative word in federal disaster law is "may," as in: "The President may make contributions to a State or local government for the repair, restoration, reconstruction or replacement of a public facility damaged or destroyed by a major disaster."
The article from Politico's California Playbook PM discusses the potential scenarios for disaster aid in Los Angeles following a series of storms. It outlines the best-case scenario where federal aid would be swift and substantial, with President Biden approving a major disaster declaration, leading to FEMA providing immediate assistance for housing, repairs, and other emergency needs. This would be supported by a well-coordinated state and local response, leveraging existing emergency funds and infrastructure. Conversely, the worst-case scenario describes a situation where bureaucratic delays, political disagreements, and insufficient funding could hinder aid distribution. Here, the response might be slow, with FEMA overwhelmed, leading to inadequate support for affected residents, potential political fallout, and public frustration over the government's handling of the crisis. The article also touches on the political implications, noting how the response could affect public perception and future elections.
