In this episode, we delve into today's FEMA Review Council (7/9/2025) meeting and the intense debate surrounding the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and its role in disaster response. With recent disasters like the flooding in Texas and New Mexico as a backdrop, we explore two major perspectives: a call for radical reform, possibly even dismantling FEMA, versus a defense of its critical function in coordination and support. Through insights from the FEMA Review Council and expert analyses, we unpack the criticisms, allegations, and accomplishments that shape this dialogue. Understanding these dynamics is essential in a world facing increasingly severe disasters, as it impacts how preparedness and response efforts are carried out nationwide.
