The article discusses Oklahoma officials, including Governor Kevin stitt, supporting former President Donald trump’s proposal for states too have greater control over emergency management adn disaster response<\/a> funding, rather then relying heavily on FEMA. Stitt hosted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and FEMA’s review council to advocate for more adaptability for state and local emergency managers<\/a>. Stitt emphasized that Oklahoma knows how to respond to disasters more efficiently and effectively than the federal government and suggested this “Oklahoma standard” should be applied nationwide. Noem reinforced that disaster response should be “locally executed” and “state-led” with federal support. The Trump administration has considered dismantling FEMA and shifting disaster relief responsibilities to the states, with Trump expressing a desire to “wean off FEMA” after the 2025 hurricane season. Despite this push, FEMA still provides significant disaster funding, and there is a bipartisan movement to elevate FEMA to Cabinet-level status in congress.
