Trump plans to phase out FEMA, shifting disaster responsibilities to states, sparking concern over future aid.

Trump plans to phase out FEMA after the 2025 hurricane season, shifting disaster response responsibilities to state governments. Critics warn this could create gaps in crucial services and funding, as FEMA currently coordinates federal resources and provides direct aid for disaster recovery. The plan requires Congressional approval, including amending the Stafford Act, and raises concerns about states' ability to manage future disasters.
