President Trump, who calls FEMA “not good,” has issued an executive order and established a commission to look at ending the agency. He favors having states respond to their own disasters, but they may not have adequate resources.

We’re just praying we don’t get so much as a bad rain in the next four years.’ In an executive order Monday, President Donald Trump demanded a “full-scale review” of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and requested a report proposing “structural changes” within the next 180 days.

Andy Beshear called the elimination of FEMA a "very bad idea." Sen. Bill Cassidy (R–La.) stopped short of condemning Trump's comments, saying some federal disaster agency is needed, even if that agency isn't FEMA.
