On this week’s episode of Tying it Together, host Tim Boyum talks with Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley. The North Carolina native was just appointed to a FEMA Review Council.
That council will take a closer look at the future of the often-criticized emergency management agency. President Trump criticized the agency’s response in western North Carolina after Helene devastated the area.
Instead, he and other leaders believe there should be a new way of funding after natural disasters, whatever acronym it might be called.
“Come up with a formula to send natural disaster funds to states in the form of a block grant and allow states to administer their own recovery,” Rep. Edwards said recently. “But there would be a core group of folks inside of FEMA, or whatever acronym that we wanted to use, that would be there as consultants for those situations where we have states not familiar with those types of disasters.”
Tim and Chairman Whatley also talk about President Trump’s first 100 days in office.
