FEMA Reform and Disaster Relief Oversight
Where Things Stand
The Department of Homeland Security is now working to reform FEMA instead of shutting it down after major hurricanes hit North Carolina. The agency has sent more than $5.4 billion to the state but faces a political fight in Congress over whether that money is reaching local projects fast enough. This debate centers on how the federal government should manage disaster relief and whether the current administration is meeting its funding promises.
