President Donald Trump is extending the charter for his Federal Emergency Management Agency task force for 60 days, a White House official told NOTUS Friday night, saving the task force from imminent dissolution.
The FEMA review council has yet to release a report detailing proposed changes to the agency and how it responds to natural disasters.
The council’s charter said that it would terminate a year after its January 24, 2025, creation, unless extended by the president. Trump tasked the council — made up of officials from the Department of Homeland Security and individual states with devising a plan to remake FEMA.
