Noem strikes the criticisms of FEMA, reveals the vision of the rescue agency in the event of a disaster

First on Fox: Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem Criticized a group of former and current employees of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) who wrote a letter criticizing the Trump Administration of the Agency when it described its vision of the role of FEMA in the United States

More than 190 employees of old and current fema joined an open letter on Monday “In response to the dismantling cuts of the Trump administration and the devastating attacks against the programs and missions of FEMA.” Wednesday morning, current employees of the agency who signed the letter were put on administrative leave.

“I am not surprised that some of the same bureaucrats who presided for decades of ineffectiveness is now opposed to the reform; including many of those who worked under the Biden administration to turn FEMA in the bureaucratic nightmare It’s today, “Noem told Fox News Digital on Thursday.” I refuse to accept that the administrative formalities of FEMA should be held between a suffering American citizen and the help they desperately need. “”

“This is why I work so hard to eliminate FEMA that it exists today and rationalizes this inflated organization in a tool that actually benefits Americans in crisis,” added Noem.

President Donald TrumpWho criticizes the catastrophe agency since its presidential campaign, told journalists in June that FEMA “had not worked well”.

“It’s extremely expensive and, again, when you have a tornado or a hurricane or you have a problem, in a state, that’s why you have governors,” added Trump. “They are supposed to solve these problems, and it is much more local and they will develop a system, and it will be an excellent system.”

THE letter baseWhich was published by Stand Up for Science for non-profit, focuses on Hurricane Katrina and relays the concerns that the preparation played an important role in the consequences that rocked the Gulf and devastated New Orleans, in Louisiana.

The signatories argue that Noem and the agency managers “hamper the rapid execution of the mission (of FEMA) and reject experienced staff whose knowledge and institutional relationships are vital to ensure effective emergency management”.

Noem told Fox News Digital that these criticisms are leftover Biden administration Unnecessary expenses and that the agency “has a history of failures of Americans in real emergencies for decades”.

“The Biden administration has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to reinstall illegal foreigners in our country on American taxpayers, while FEMA has not even finished the payments of Hurricane Katrina,” Noem told Fox. “We don’t just want to repair a broken system, we want to build something better.”

“While our successes in Texas show it clearly, the Trump administration has created a deployable disaster force that crosses bureaucratic noise and provides real results in record time,” added Noem.

Despite the back and forth supporters, some Democrats have recognized the positive orientation that the disaster agency is heading under Noem and Trump.

Governor Democrat Andy Beshear Jaime Harrison said to the host “at our table”, Jaime Harrison, that “Trump’s fema in the field has done a good job in Kentucky” and that the treatment with the agency’s federal government is “in fact a credit to the administration (from Trump)”.

Although the immediate future of FEMA and the way in which the congress can finance the agency remains uncertain, Noem is optimistic that most useless expenses from the previous management will be rested.

“These career bureaucrats (FEMA) had support service contracts for everything they do, from finance to support for management to endowment reviews,” a spokesman for the government’s efficiency (DOGE) told Fox News Digital. “They have done almost nothing themselves.”

“Instead, they hid their abusive use of taxpayers under the veneer of” emergency management “, explained the Doge’s office in Fox.” Not surprising that they have time to write letters on the hill – they certainly spent their time working. “
