Speed vs. accountability: The call to fix FEMA and the high stakes for Florida

President Trump has pledged to reform FEMA, while suggesting it should be done away with. Two Floridians who used to lead the agency told WLRN they support the process — but caution federal emergency management is needed.
The article from WLRN discusses the potential reforms to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under a second Trump administration, focusing on the implications for hurricane response in Florida. It highlights Trump's previous criticisms of FEMA's handling of disaster relief, particularly after hurricanes like Maria in Puerto Rico and Irma in Florida. Trump's administration had proposed budget cuts to FEMA, which raised concerns about the agency's capacity to respond effectively to future disasters. The article also mentions the ongoing debate about FEMA's funding, structure, and efficiency, with some advocating for more localized control over disaster management. Additionally, it touches on how these reforms could affect Florida, a state frequently hit by hurricanes, where effective disaster response is crucial. The piece includes perspectives from local officials, emergency management experts, and residents, reflecting a mix of apprehension and hope for improvements in FEMA's operations.
