A council appointed by President Donald Trump is proposing sweeping changes to how the federal government delivers disaster assistance through FEMA, according to multiple outlets. The recommendations, presented publicly on Thursday, focus on reshaping FEMA’s disaster response and recovery role. Sources describe the proposals as long-awaited reforms that would affect both eligibility and the scale of federal support. The PBS NewsHour report says the plan could reduce the number of disasters the federal government supports and the amount of money distributed in some cases, framing the changes as an effort to alter the scope and structure of disaster recovery. CBS News describes the council’s ideas as a major redesign of FEMA’s response responsibilities. The Independent similarly characterizes the proposals as significant changes to federal disaster support. Taken together, the reports indicate that the council is recommending structural adjustments that could change which disasters receive assistance and how much funding is provided. The articles do not describe final implementation details or timelines, describing the proposals as recommendations from the review council rather than enacted policy.
