Climate fueled-disasters have caused the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) flood insurance program to run out of money.
This program, which covers most flood insurance policies, just had to borrow $2 billion to cover payments for Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Trump’s response? Threatening to cut FEMA funding in its entirety.
FEMA plays a critical role in our disaster support, saving countless lives and rebuilding livelihoods since its inception. As hurricanes, floods, and wildfires only grow in intensity and number as a result of man-made climate change, more funding is needed, not less.
But Trump doesn’t care about ordinary Americans struggling in the wake of a natural disaster — that’s why he’s attacking such a vital mainstay of our disaster response networks. He and his MAGA administration don’t even want to acknowledge the disasters occurring right in front of our very eyes — let alone respond to them.
But the truth is, disasters are growing worse every single year, and we need to fund climate adaptation — not defund it. We cannot have a two-tier system of haves and have-nots. Trump and his cronies want a world where only the wealthy can be insured against disasters, while the average American will have their world turned upside down.
