From PBS: DHS secretary nominee Mullin presents a different vision for FEMA than predecessor Noem

“President Donald Trump’s nominee to head the Department of Homeland Security presented a softer approach on federal emergency management in his Senate confirmation hearing, rejecting the idea of eliminating the Federal Emergency Management Agency and pledging to undo some of his predecessor’s unpopular policies.

The remarks by Markwayne Mullin on Wednesday raised hopes among disaster response managers that a shift is coming in the administration’s approach to FEMA after months of turbulence under the outgoing DHS secretary, Kristi Noem.”
