Bob Fenton, the acting administrator of FEMA, tells CBS News that the agency is prepared for the start of hurricane season. In interviews, he frames FEMA’s readiness as an effort to ensure response capabilities are in place as storms approach. The comments come while FEMA is still working through the effects of shutdown-related disruptions, including delayed grants and delays tied to the Disaster Relief Fund, which has been described as depleted. Fenton’s assurances also reflect ongoing discussion within the federal government about how responsibilities are shared during disasters. He addresses the Trump administration’s push for states to play a more active role in recovery, while FEMA maintains federal support for preparedness and response. Overall, the reporting describes FEMA as moving forward with hurricane-season planning and readiness actions even as it continues recovery work from earlier disruptions and faces resource and funding constraints that affect grant processing and relief operations.
