"The 2022-2026 FEMA Strategic Plan has been rescinded as it did not support FEMA's mission, prompting the creation of a new strategy aligned with essential tasks."
"FEMA employees expressed concern over the lack of a strategic plan during hurricane season, highlighting that such changes can have significant downstream effects on operations."
In a surprising move less than two weeks before hurricane season, FEMA head David Richardson rescinded the agency's strategic plan, which had served as a guiding document since it was established in 2022. He stated that the previous plan, which included goals such as promoting equity and climate resilience, was misaligned with FEMA’s mission. A new strategy aimed at executing essential tasks will be developed for 2026-2030. Employees expressed concern about the implications of operating without a strategic plan during peak disaster preparedness times.
