Breaking news, John:
You read that right — a high-ranking Trump official just announced plans to eliminate FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency.1
Let’s be clear: we all rely on FEMA when climate disasters strike — and these events are becoming more frequent and more destructive due to the climate crisis. Just in the last year, FEMA was critical in responding to the Los Angeles wildfires and the devastating flooding from Hurricane Helene in North Carolina.
Here’s the good news —Trump can’t just snap his fingers and make FEMA disappear. That would take an act of Congress.
And that’s where you come in, John. Send a letter to your U.S. representative and urge them to block any attempt to dismantle FEMA.
Trump wants to shift disaster response to individual states, but let’s be real — states are not equipped to handle this alone. FEMA coordinates emergency response and aid, inspects damage, and helps communities rebuild. Without it, states would be overwhelmed by the billions of dollars in recovery costs, scrambling to find personnel, and struggling to keep families safe.2
Responding to climate disasters is expensive, John. If Trump were truly worried about that cost, he would stop fueling the climate crisis with his pro-oil policies — the very thing that’s making hurricanes, wildfires, and floods even worse.
FEMA is a crucial partner in combating climate chaos and protecting our communities — especially as the planet gets hotter, and hurricanes, floods, and wildfires get more intense.
