Trump's Pick to Lead FEMA Pledges to Be 'Fair and Reasonable' in Assessing Disaster Aid Requests
Hamilton faces senators’ questions over his brief FEMA tenure and whether the agency will survive administration plans to scale it back.
- Cameron Hamilton, President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Federal Emergency Management Agency, appeared before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Wednesday, pledging to be "fair and reasonable" in assessing disaster aid requests.
- Hamilton previously led FEMA until he was fired last year after defending its existence, shortly after Trump floated the idea of "getting rid" of the agency in January 2025.
- Instability currently plagues the agency, which has cycled through four temporary leaders; Curry estimates more than 2500 staff members have left under the current administration.
- If confirmed, Hamilton would succeed the turbulent tenure of Kristi Noem at the Department of Homeland Security and serve as principal adviser to Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin.
- A newly released FEMA Review report recommends implementing reforms over 2 to 3 years, aiming to raise the bar for federal support and ensure aid reaches only truly significant events.
