Council to Assess the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Executive Order 14180) is an executive order issued on January 24, 2025, by U.S. President Donald Trump, establishing a review council to assess the performance and structure of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and to recommend potential reforms.[1][2]
Background
[edit]The order followed criticism of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s response to disasters including Hurricane Helene, alongside calls to improve its effectiveness and priorities.[3] Media reports also indicated internal concerns about the agency’s preparedness, including delays in planning ahead of the hurricane season.[4] Early in his second term, President Trump criticised FEMA as ineffective and suggested significant changes to its structure and role in disaster response.[5]
