Trump-appointed FEMA review council approves recommendations for agency reform
A council appointed by President Trump to review the Federal Emergency Management Agency approved a report Thursday with recommendations for restructuring the agency. The proposals include shifting more responsibility to states, tribes, and local authorities, raising the threshold for federal disaster assistance, and privatizing flood insurance. The recommendations stop short of the administration's stated goal to dismantle FEMA but would reduce federal spending and involvement in disaster recovery.
