The profession of emergency management has been in flux since its inception.
Currently the Trump Administration is looking how to organize the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) to fit with the President’s political and policy agendas.
Everything is perhaps up for grabs. In this podcast we look at one proposal to have the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) take over all aspects of what we might call
“civil defense” to have those functions taken out of FEMA and aligned more directly
within other elements of DHS.
