The Fema leader is released when the Trump administration aims at the agency

Cameron Hamilton, the reigning director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, was displaced from the job on Thursday, so several people who were familiar with his departure. His fabric came a day after telling the members of the congress that Fema – which President Trump proposed, was of crucial importance for the communities “in their greatest times” and should not be eliminated.

The agency, which coordinates the federal reaction to natural disasters, confirmed in a statement that Mr. Hamilton no longer acted as an acting administrator. Many other managerial managers were released or decided because the agency was exposed to an insecure future. Mr. Hamilton's dismissal was previously reported by Politico.

On Tuesday, Kristi Noem, the secretary of the home protection authority, belongs to the agency, said Fema before the legislator that the FEMA should be eliminated. Instead, Mr. Hamilton, who appeared on Wednesday before the congress, said that the Fema “has to return to its roots” in order to react to state and local governments to disasters.

“The municipalities look at the Fema in their greatest needs,” Hamilton told the legislators, “and it is absolutely necessary that we remain ready to react to these challenges.”

Mr. Hamilton added: “I don't think it is in the best interest of the American people to eliminate the federal administrative agency of the federal government.” Nevertheless, he said, it was “a conversation that should be conducted between the President of the United States and this government agency”.

The debate about whether the Fema should survive dates from the early days of the administration. Mr. Trump visited North Carolina in January, after parts of the state had been destroyed by the hurricane Helene, and said that Fema, under President Joseph R. Biden, had not done enough to help the hurricane survivor.

“I think we will recommend that the Fema will disappear,” said Mr. Trump.

Mr. Trump's frustrations with the Fema repeated long -term concerns of the agency's own leaders who thought it was increasingly asked to do too much with too few resources. For example, Fema was asked to work on the reaction to Covid 19 pandemic and to help with migrants in the first Trump administration.

The frequency and severity of hurricanes, forest fires and other disasters have increased, since the climate change caused by humans increases due to the average temperatures.

In 1980 there were only three billion dollar disasters in the United States, but these were increased to 27 last year, according to the data collected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). (Since then, the Trump administration has instructed NOAA not to update this database.)

Mr. Trump was the first president to dismantle the agency disassembly and looked alarm with Fema and also among the state emergency management officers who rely on it. The government's wish to actually dissolve the agency was unclear.

State officials from all over the country, including the Republicans, asked the White House not to reduce the agency.

State emergency managers who would bear the greatest burden if the Fema disappeared have also asked the agency to survive. “Fema must maintain the workers, resources and authorities that are necessary to achieve the agency's mission,” wrote the National Emergency Management Association, which represented state emergency managers, in an open letter last month.

There were signs that the white house listened to these concerns. Last week, Mr. Trump appointed members of a council to advise on the future of Fema. This Council includes emergency management experts and civil servants from cities at risk of disaster and states, and a decision, which some regarded as a signal that the FEMA is probably not dissolved.

However, Ms. Noem did not seem to be under the roots so that the Fema survived. During the hearing on Tuesday, she told the legislators that “the Fema, as it exists today, should be eliminated.”

It was not the first time that Ms. Noem and Mr. Hamilton were on different sides of a problem. At the beginning of the administration, Ms. Noem indicated the Fema to freeze her grant financing so as not to send money to groups or states that were considered migrants without papers. Under Mr. Hamilton, the Fema tried to find a way to meet these restrictions and at the same time to keep the agency's legal obligations.

The Fema said on Thursday that Mr. Hamilton was replaced by David Richardson, the deputy secretary of the office of the home protection department, as deputy administrator for weapons of mass destruction. (In an explanation, representative Bennie G. Thompson, the Supreme Democrat in House Committee on Homeland Security, President Trump asked to appoint a constant administrator “with the right experience and qualifications”.)

Mr. Richardson will be exposed to a difficult job. From Thursday morning, the FEMA had trained about half as many employees to react to disasters This follows the FEMA for months, with many workers accepting or terminating an early withdrawal offer.

The Atlantic Hurricane season starts in three weeks.
