The executive order begins the process of a review of the agency's effectiveness by establishing a 20-member task force

President Trump has signed an executive order aimed at revamping the Federal Emergency Management Agency, in the latest sign he's seeking to change how the agency handles disasters that hit the nation.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins reports on the details of President Donald Trump’s visit to California after suggesting eliminating FEMA aid to California. Collins says White House officials didn’t have California Gov.

President Trump said he intends to overhaul or terminate FEMA as he toured damage from Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina.

Notably, Trump’s executive order on FEMA does not seek to eliminate the agency; Congress would need to act to do that. The order instead underscores Trump’s interest in turning to outside advisers and private-sector companies to fill some typically governmental functions as he seeks to quickly accomplish his second-term goals.

President Donald Trump signaled he is considering sweeping changes to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the country’s lead federal agency responsible for disaster relief, during his second term in the White House.

President Trump’s plan to shutter the Federal Emergency Management Agency could save the federal government billions but will hit stiff resistance from governors who don’t want to shoulder more of the cost of natural disasters.

President Donald Trump said that his administration will step in and assist North Carolina as it recovers from Hurricane Helene months after the storm.

President Donald Trump is preparing to reshape the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has been on the frontlines of responding to disasters in California and North Carolina.

The Biden-era programs were a self-service scheduling app that Trump shut down on Monday, and an initiative that let in some migrants fleeing Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Haiti. They had allowed more than a million people to enter the country temporarily.

President Donald Trump said he'll sign executive order to eliminate or overhaul FEMA on Friday. What would that mean for Mississippi disaster relief?

FLETCHER, N.C. — President Donald Trump said Friday that he was considering “getting rid of” the Federal Emergency Management Agency, offering the latest sign of how he is weighing sweeping changes to the nation's central organization for responding to disasters.
