Biden mentioned a FEMA program through which fire victims can receive a one-time $770 payment, but there are other forms of federal aid available.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has billions of dollars in disaster funds, which are used to reimburse states for eligible recovery efforts after major disasters, contrary to posts online saying FEMA has “no money” to respond to the wildfires in southern California.

President Donald Trump said he'll sign executive order to eliminate or overhaul FEMA on Friday. What would that mean for Mississippi disaster relief?

President Donald Trump criticized FEMA and California officials over natural disaster response. He suggested dismantling FEMA and shifting responsibilities to states, while also threatening to withhold disaster aid to California due to water management disputes.

Experts say it would be hard for Trump to revoke FEMA funding, but Congress could slow down California’s recovery.

FLETCHER, N.C. (AP) - President Donald Trump says he’s considering “getting rid of FEMA.”

President Donald Trump said he was considering "getting rid of FEMA” as he visited hurricane-battered North Carolina on Friday.

President Trump visited Hurricane Helene survivors after surveying damage in North Carolina. Mr. Trump will also visit California as wildfire victims seek more federal aid.

I’d rather see the states take care of their own problems,” the president said. Federal emergency managers from both parties have made the same argument.

You don’t need to settle for what your insurance company or the government first offers. And you don’t have to fight alone.

Trump visited western North Carolina to survey the damage from Hurricane Helene and floated eliminating the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) after criticizing its handling of the storm damage.
