With FEMA already stretched thin, though, the White House could be poised to further politicize the process of who gets aid. A Washington Post investigation published last week found that FEMA significantly decreased hazard-mitigation grants to Democratic-led states last year, including fire-prone California and Colorado. If he’s confirmed, Cameron Hamilton doesn’t seem likely to “abolish FEMA.” But starving the agency of resources, placing more of the burden onto cash-strapped local and state governments, and withholding federal funds from Democratic governments could make it less and less relevant for millions of people seeking relief.
