When the Carolinas burn, Kristie Noem says that the Trump administration will “eliminate” the Fema

The Trump management plans to scrap the emergency authority for disaster relief.

Noem said that according to the SemaFor and reporting other media, her department would “eliminate” the Fema, she said.

The independent has turned to the Department of Homeland Security, the Fema parenting agency, for a comment.

Some reacted to the claims with an alarm.

“The great plan of the Trump government for victims of natural disasters is to give them up-and it is a complete non-starter,” wrote Senator Pete Welch of Vermont, a democrat, in a statement on Monday. “Removal of the ability of the Fema to react to a catastrophe hits would not only be catastrophic for flood victims in Vermont, but also for hurricane sacrifices in the Carolinas, Tornado victims in Kansas and Waldbrand victims in California.”

The threat was also reported as massive forest fires that devastated parts of North and South Carolina.

It is unclear how the administration would eliminate the agency because it is legally approved, but criticism from the White House about the emergency authority follows for months.

The representatives Jared Moskowitz (D) and Byron Donalds (R) have now introduced non -partisan legislation to transform the Fema into an independent agency at cabinet level.

Some Republicans say they reject the efforts to remove the emergency agency.

“The Fema cannot go away,” said Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana in February. “I think the federal government’s first task is to protect people and property.”

The administration criticized the Fema from a number of perspectives that are inefficient, to inaccurate claims that the agency has derived for household financing for household migrants.

“I love Oklahoma, but do you know what? If they are hit with a tornado or something like that, let Oklahoma repair it,” said Trump in January. “And then the federal government can help them with the money. Fema sets everything in the way.”

On the campaign path, Trump also wrongly claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden did not visit the disaster zones in North Carolina after Hurricane Helene and that the federal government did not help people in Republican areas.

Since taking office, the President has signed Executive Orders in which a review of the FEMA operations and the creation of a “national resilience strategy”, while he argued: “Local leaders and citizens know their needs best – not their bureaucrats in Washington, DC”, which would indicate that the states would be presented for important disasters, the different disasters Offer states in very different levels.

According to reports, the White House has reported Fema to “check all disaster relief programs that can help indirectly or, in the rest of the illegal foreigners,” said politico memo.

In the past week, FEMA employees were warned that Secretary Noem would have to personally approved after the end of his conditions and to set up potential personnel cuts as part of the far-reaching campaign of the administration to reduce the federal expenses.

Experts have warned that the elimination of the Fema would probably weaken the emergency reaction in poorer, disaster -prone republican states.

“This would have enormous effects for many red states. It is difficult to find the words for how bad it would be” The guardian At the beginning of this year.

“Florida and Texas have a high risk, but poorer red states like Mississippi and Alabama would be even worse because they have less money to compensate for a loss of federal financing,” added the expert.
