The Trump administration has the Federal Emergency Management Agency in a doom loop, according to current and former employees frustrated with its direction.
President Donald Trump has called for overhauling the agency and letting states take the lead in disaster response to streamline a process that conservatives criticize as too bureaucratic. But current FEMA leadership has added more red tape and decimated morale, creating an environment that is antithetical to efficiency, these sources say.
More than a dozen current and former FEMA employees told NOTUS that a culture of fear and anxiousness plagues the agency.
