FEMA: Extension of Agency Review Council

Further Continuance of the Federal Emergency Management Agency Review Council

Key Points

Trump signed an order to keep the FEMA Review Council active for a short time longer. This group was first set up in early 2025 to study how FEMA works and suggest ways to make the agency better at handling disasters.
The council is now scheduled to finish its work by May 29, 2026. If the council finishes its final report earlier, it will officially shut down 10 days after that report is delivered to Trump.
The Secretary of Homeland Security will be in charge of managing the council's activities. They must follow standard government rules for advisory groups while the council finishes its evaluation of the emergency agency.
This move ensures that the experts on the council have enough time to complete their review of FEMA. The findings in their final report could lead to changes in how the government responds to future hurricanes, fires, and other emergencies.
