Kristi Noem, head of DHS, criticized FEMA during recent interviews, advocating for state control over disaster management. She believes that while federal resources are necessary for recovery efforts, local officials should be empowered to make deployment decisions swiftly. Noem, as co-chair of a new council to review FEMA, argues against its bureaucratic processes that delay aid. Amidst concerns over security within the agency, she supports the presence of Musk's audit team to promote transparency in disaster management.
Noem emphasized that FEMA's current role in disaster response is overly bureaucratic and advocated for allowing local officials to make critical decisions.
The head of DHS contended that while federal resources are essential, the deployment should be quicker and more effective by empowering local decision-makers.
