As hurricane season begins, concerns arise regarding FEMA's effectiveness under acting head David Richardson, who revealed a lack of understanding about hurricane season in a meeting. This raises questions about FEMA's readiness to respond to disasters, especially given Richardson’s background without disaster management experience. Previously fired FEMA chief had opposed cuts to the agency, indicating ongoing turmoil within FEMA, as the Department of Homeland Security's spokesperson claims efforts to reorganize are underway to enhance responsiveness and empower state-led disaster relief efforts.
"Despite meanspirited attempts to falsely frame a joke as policy, there is no uncertainty about what FEMA will be doing this Hurricane Season."
"The last time FEMA was led by an administrator whose profession was not emergency management was the mid-2000s, under Michael Brown."
