President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he plans to phase out the Federal Emergency Management Agency after this year’s hurricane season, offering the clearest timeline yet for his administration’s long-term plans to dismantle the disaster relief agency and shift responsibility for response and recovery onto states.

“We’re moving it back to the states, so the governors can handle. That’s why they’re governors,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

After last year’s derecho, FEMA put Kevin Comeaux up in a hotel, and Gwendolyn went to stay with her sister. Because they had no insurance and FEMA assistance wouldn’t cover the full cost of repairs, they couldn’t afford to fix the house.

Under the Trump administration, the agency has lost roughly a quarter of its core staff.
