Project 2025: Shrink FEMA
Ken Cuccinelli, a former Trump senior homeland security official who wrote the section about FEMA, said the goal is "shrinking FEMA."
The US has faced an unprecedented number of natural disasters in the last decade. Project 2025 wants to make states responsible for disaster relief, a move that would quickly bankrupt many states.
Project 2025: End Flood Insurance - Privatize it
Project 2025 would end FEMA's flood insurance program - Project 2025 says "The NFIP should be wound down and replaced with private insurance." - page 154
FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program provides almost all flood coverage in the U.S.
“You’re gutting FEMA,” said Brett Hartl, government affairs director with the Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund.
“The poorest among us would never have access to flood insurance. They would be left out, totally out of luck and not be able to rebuild,” Hartl said of the proposal to end the National Flood Insurance Program and leave flood coverage to the reluctant insurance industry.
By eliminating or minimizing FEMA aid after small disasters, Hartl said, “All you’re doing is making it harder for communities to recover.”
Project 2025's plan to gut FEMA would harm people all over the country, from Florida to California, from Iowa to Texas. Take action to stop Project 2025.
