$GNRC | FEMA SCRAPS NEW HURRICANE PLAN, REVERTS TO LAST YEAR’S AMID CUTS, CONFUSION
Just days into hurricane season, FEMA's new chief David Richardson scrapped this year’s updated response plan—opting to reuse last year’s guidance, despite staff cuts and program rollbacks. He also told employees he’d only recently learned hurricanes had a season, raising alarms inside the agency.
Internal messages and staff departures point to growing frustration, with FEMA months behind on prep and unsure how to fill key gaps in storm response.
