Trump's FEMA Review Council offers sweeping changes to disaster aid

A council appointed by President Trump has proposed significant changes to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The recommendations aim to shift more disaster preparedness and recovery responsibilities to states, tribes, and territories.

Announced on Thursday, the report suggests altering how the federal government determines disaster support and how FEMA allocates funds.

Former Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin says the changes focus on accelerating aid and reducing bureaucracy.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin describes the report as offering clear direction for reform.

The recommendations will be sent to Trump, but many require congressional approval.
