From the WashPost: Trump administration moves away from abolishing FEMA
As the president heads to Texas to see the impact of last week’s deadly flash floods, the White House has backed away from plans to abolish the agency, officials said.

“For months, President Donald Trump and his homeland security secretary have said the Federal Emergency Management Agency could be eliminated. But as the president heads to Texas to view the impact of last week’s deadly floods, administration officials say abolishing the agency outright is not on the agenda.

A senior White House official told The Washington Post that no official action is being taken to wind down FEMA, and that changes in the agency will probably amount to a “rebranding” that will emphasize state leaders’ roles in disaster response.”
