Replying to
From the report:
"....This has occurred simultaneously with the most severe contraction of FEMA’s workforce since the period preceding Hurricane Katrina. FEMA has lost over 5,000 full-time personnel since January 2025 through a combination of Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)-related reductions, non-renewals of Cadre of On-Call Response/Recovery (CORE) contracts, voluntary departures accelerated by low morale and forced reassignments. A hiring freeze in place from January 2025 through May 2026 prevented the agency from backfilling these losses. Senior GS-15s and Senior Executive Service employees have departed in unprecedented numbers.
The consequences of these actions were tragically spotlighted during the July 4, 2025 flooding in Texas, which killed more than 100 people. ..."

Replying to
From the report
"...This report concludes with eight recommendations, including recalling all FEMA personnel from immigration enforcement details, resuming FEMA hiring and training programs, strengthening congressional oversight of the disaster declaration process, establishing FEMA as an independent
agency and amending the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act to create enforceable penalties for the diversion of FEMA resources away from its statutory mission..."

Gregg Phillips, an election denier who co-produced rightwing propaganda "documentary" "2000 Mules," has been appointed Administrator of FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery (ORR), according to Marisa Kabas of The Handbasket. Phillips has no experience in disaster management, but in his new position, will be responsible for enabling functions like search and rescue, debris removal and "everything that gets a community back up and running again," a FEMA staffer told Kabas. Here's more.
