“We pre -deploy the right to the dollar to Texas so that they can take the best decisions responding to their people,” NoM said. “FEMA has never done so before-pre-east dollars in a state so that they can use it to save their people, so that they can use it to go out and save life.”

“The emergency is executed locally,” he said. “They are state-related and then the federal government comes and supports you. [No one] Never want to sit back and wait for someone from the federal government to wait and wait for you to get out of your house because in the past, people have not served well under the Biden administration.

He added his belief that FEMA “would be present in the way it is today.”
“We are fundamentally improving that agency,” NoM said. “President Trump in his privilege, as he likes to do, wants to change the name of things. He can come up with a new name for this agency that reflects the fundamental change that happens there. But this agency will no longer be a bureaucracy agency where people will have to wait 20 years to pay their claims.
“It will be an agency that immediately tells the state, and from that local emergency management director, ‘What do you want? How can we support you?” And then trains them to set the skills that they need to serve their people, as they are always fast there.
It is not clear what the new agency can be named.
