Trump indicated that FEMA will be &#8220;wound down,&#8221; with its responsibilities transferred to other government departments, effectively phasing it out. This <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >shift means federal disaster aid<\/a> will be managed directly by the White House, with state governors taking on more control. Trump stated that federal assistance would be less but acknowledged that states would still value the help thay receive.
