Getting rid of FEMA might not have been what Americans thought they were voting for last year, but it’s apparently what the president intends to deliver.

Glenn Youngkin, Virginia’s Republican governor, thinks the state can shoulder the burden, but Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Warner warns of “bankrupting” states that suffer heavy hurricane damage.

FEMA paid more than $3.1 billion to Florida and its residents in federal grants, disaster loans and flood insurance payments in 2022 after Hurricane Ian, a monstrous Category 5 storm, rocked the Sunshine State. It remains the costliest hurricane in Florida history.

President Trump and top White House officials have accused FEMA of failing to adequately respond to disasters. They argue states could do a better job of administering disaster relief money. The president said at a fundraiser last year that he believed the private sector could rebuild more cheaply after hurricanes.
