An internal review obtained by CNN reveals that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is “not ready” for the upcoming Atlantic hurricane season, which begins on June 1. The report, prepared under the direction of Acting Administrator David Richardson, highlights significant challenges the agency has faced in recent months.

“As FEMA shifts toward a smaller operational footprint, the intent for this hurricane season remains unclear,” the review states. It also warns that “when an organization is told it may be eliminated or abolished, cooperation and resources begin to erode.”

President Trump and other senior administration officials have sharply criticized FEMA since January. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, whose department oversees the agency, has pledged to dismantle it. Former Acting Administrator Cameron Hamilton was dismissed last week after he publicly told Congress he did not support eliminating FEMA.
