Summary
Trump signed an executive order shifting disaster preparedness responsibility from FEMA to state and local governments.
The order calls for reviewing infrastructure policies, creating a National Risk Register, and prioritizing state-led risk reduction.
Critics warn this weakens U.S. disaster readiness, noting Trump’s administration has cut 1,000 FEMA staff and withheld funds from state projects.
Experts fear the order forces states to make costly infrastructure investments without clear federal support, leaving communities more vulnerable to disasters like wildfires and hurricanes.
Wow this is brain damage… So he is going to ruin already strained state and local government budgets. i guess residents can look forward to higher property taxes while corporate interests are allowed to pollute the air without abandon.
Y’all get what you voted for. Trump is really lowering prices for average Americans 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
