"Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem is under fire from disaster survivors for mismanaging the federal government's response to recent storms, floods, and deadly wildfires as staffing cuts and controversial policy changes continue to cause chaos at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)."
"Disaster survivors from 10 states and Puerto Rico gathered Monday on Capitol Hill for an emotional press conference to demand accountability from Noem for "systemic failures" at Noem's department, which oversees FEMA."
"When FEMA cannot fully function, real people pay the price, and what happened in Sandy Creek cannot be allowed to happen again."
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem faces criticism for mismanaging federal response to recent storms, floods, and wildfires amid staffing cuts and controversial FEMA policy changes. Disaster survivors from 10 states and Puerto Rico held a press conference on Capitol Hill demanding accountability for systemic failures, citing communication shortfalls and mismanagement of emergency relief funds that caused months-long delays and community confusion. Survivors of July central Texas floods that claimed more than 130 lives seek a meeting and personal visit from Noem and a congressional hearing on the government's response. Activism intensified after the administration installed an election denier and conspiracy theorist in a top FEMA role.
