US EditionTrump’s FEMA council misses deadline for report on agency overhaul
The 12-person FEMA Review Council missed its report deadline due to staffing issues including a 43-day government shutdown, delaying critical FEMA restructuring recommendations.
- Assigned 180 days after its May 20 start, the review council failed to meet the Monday deadline to publish recommendations.
- The review was charged to evaluate FEMA’s last four years of responses and alternatives, assessing FEMA’s adequacy and comparing federal, state, and private disaster roles.
- A spokesperson for Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin said the review council will vote to finalize the report at an upcoming public meeting, with disruptions possibly caused by the 43-day government shutdown.
- Congress already figures in next steps because major changes need its approval, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee voted 57-3 in September to advance a bill making FEMA Cabinet-level, and a bipartisan group of lawmakers is pursuing legislation without waiting for the council.
- A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson declined to set a publication date while a congressional staffer suggested mid-December, saying the report will inform this Administration’s restructuring efforts.
