💨 Abstract

Kristi Noem, the chief of the National Security Department, stated that President Trump aims to restructure the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) rather than dismantling it entirely. This change is based on the recent federal response to Texas floods. Trump had previously criticized FEMA, considering dissolving it. Noem clarifies that his focus is now on a new, innovative way to deploy and support states, shifting from the agency's traditional role.
