Despite new studies that its administration has abandoned its response plan and joked about the issue in official meetings, the White House maintained that the Federal Emergency Management Agency has taken storms season , planning , seriously.
With Sunday bringing the first of a six-month hurricane time, FEMA has been subject to growing scrutiny and criticism for being prepared to deal with significant national tragedies along the Gulf Coast and East Coast.
White House press minister Karoline Leavitt insisted on Tuesday evening that the Trump administration was focused on preparing for a big surprise.
According to Lake, “FEMA is taking this seriously, really, contrary to some of the investigating we have seen based on leaks and jokes made,” he said during a White House press briefing. ” This is completely unreachable,” said Secretary Kristi Noem and FEMA authority. The leader continues to review demands for emergency assistance and carefully considers them, and they are committed to making sure that national resources and revenue dollars are available for Americans in need.
Lake: We are well into hurricane season, and I am aware that FEMA is taking this seriously, opposed to some reports based on discussions ‘ jokes and leaks.
I believe some of the press reports on this are, in my opinion, clumsy and …pic. twitter.com/SX2jiL0tM7

However, new media studies have suggested that FEMA is in trouble as it enters hurricane season without a detailed plan of action.
A unique, innovative plan for handling storm response has been abandoned by the agency leadership. FEMA recently made the decision to revert to the previous game program, which included visiting people ‘ houses door to door.
According to a Wall Street Journal article on remarks made to staff on Monday by David Richardson, the top official performing the duties of FEMA executive, the agency has shut down the plans, and a large portion of the workplace is required to return to the old method of activities.
Richardson is unaccustomed to weather patterns, including the June 1 through November 30 cyclone season, when winds may create because Gulf and Caribbean waters are warm, and this is one reason for the lack of preparation.
According to Richardson,” Tuesday was the first day of storms season,” according to reports to the staff. I wasn’t aware that it was a year.
According to President Donald Trump, FEMA would be better off transferring responsibility for disaster response to the state or the private market.
Leavitt said,” This leader has made it clear that we are not going to force state to use federal tax money to make bad decisions and then have to use that money to bail them out.” The leader will carefully and thoughtfully ponder any requests for federal assistance that come to his desk, and we want to see states remain concerned with their taxes dollars doing as much as they can.
FEMA did not respond to a request for comment.
‘ THERE’S A BIG PUSH,’ the frost targs VISA OVERSTAYERS utter,” THERE’S A BIG PUSH.”
Cameron Hamilton, a former FEMA leader, was immediately terminated in early May for criticizing Trump while testifying before Congress.
Hamilton told House politicians on the Appropriations Committee for Homeland Security that he did not believe the company should be abolished, but he was fired less than a day later. Trump, who has demanded the company’s destruction, took a tear from his remarks.
