Kristi Noem suggested FEMA’s response to deadly Texas flooding was a model for the future. A resigning FEMA official apparently doesn’t see it that way.

In a shift, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem appeared on Sunday to walk back earlier plans for a sweeping dismantling of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, saying Trump wants to "remake" it.

Kristi Noem is denying reports that claim her policies held up the government’s emergency response in the days following the July 4 Texas floods.

For months, President Donald Trump and his administration have floated the idea of doing away with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). “I think, frankly, FEMA is not good,” he told reporters in his first week back in the Oval Office.
