‘Clear and present danger’: Project 2025’s plan to gut FEMA when it’s most needed

Project 2025 recommends gutting the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) – ending FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program and shifting the financial burden of disaster recovery onto state and local governments.“Every state in the U.S. is at risk from this callously indifferent, ideologically driven desire … to kneecap our federal response,” says Gov. Jay Inslee, who knows well what happens to states when aid is politicized. Together, Project 2025’s proposals to dismantle NOAA, the National Weather Service, the EPA, and FEMA will cause everyone to be less prepared for natural disasters, and our communities will likely get less help to deal with the aftermath. It’s a “clear and present danger,” says Gov. Inslee.
