White House Drops Proposal to Abolish FEMA

The White House has abandoned a proposal to abolish the Federal Emergency Management Agency, according to a Washington Post report published on 11 July 2025. The reversal comes only weeks after administration officials floated the idea of dismantling the agency and transferring its responsibilities to other parts of the federal government. The report did not specify why the plan was withdrawn, nor did the administration immediately release a public statement. FEMA will therefore continue to coordinate federal disaster-response and recovery efforts heading into the remainder of the 2025 hurricane and wildfire seasons.
