GAO report identifies gaps in FEMA’s disaster response capabilities, highlighting risks from workforce reductions, following Senator Kim's request.
Quiver AI Summary
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has released a report highlighting workforce challenges within the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), following a request from Senator Andy Kim. The report warns that recent staff reductions may hinder FEMA's ability to effectively respond to disasters, with some staff lacking the necessary training for disaster response tasks.
Senator Kim emphasized the need for reforms to strengthen FEMA's resources, stating, "The staffing and resource gaps are damning and could cost lives." He cited increasing frequency of disasters and called for better preparedness ahead of the 2025 hurricane season, pointing to a drastic drop in available incident management personnel.
The GAO report indicates that as disaster declarations have surged, FEMA started the season with only 12% of its incident management workforce available, resulting in a reliance on less trained staff. Kim's ongoing initiatives aim to bolster FEMA's capabilities amid these challenges, emphasizing accountability from Federal leadership.
