Hurricane Beryl, a relatively weak storm, caused at least $1.5 billion in direct damage in Texas in July 2024. It was just one of the 27 billion-dollar disasters that hit the United States last year. That increasing tempo of major disasters, along with ever-expanding duties, has left the Federal Emergency Management Agency struggling to provide aid efficiently and consistently.

Tuesday, President Donald Trump said he wants to phase out the agency after the 2025 hurricane season. It wasnt the first time he proposed eliminating the agency, but it was a surprise to have a timeline attached. And it undercuts other efforts he launched to provide advice about restructuring the agency.
