Disasters are complex, costly, and demand coordinated action. In this episode of the 'Burning Questions' podcast, host Ryan Maye Handy, joined by Kristen Smith and Bridget Mitchell, dives deep into disaster prevention, response, and recovery. We dissect the role of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)—its history, current function, and the impact of proposed changes under the Trump administration. The conversation explores the limitations of federal aid, the crucial responsibilities of state and local governments, and the immense financial hurdles faced by communities struck by disaster. Tune in to understand why building strong relationships across federal, state, and local entities is the real key to effective disaster management and mitigation.
