Trump Adminstration mulls moving FEMA to Texas
In part, the idea was floated that TDEM Chief Kidd should lead FEMA but he doesn't want to leave Texas, per Politico.
Via Politico
tonight
The Trump
administration is considering moving the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s
headquarters to Texas and putting the state’s top emergency manager in charge
of the agency, two former senior FEMA officials told POLITICO’s E&E News.
Moving the
agency from its headquarters in Washington would create “huge challenges”
coordinating with the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees FEMA and
is located across town from the agency, according to one former official, who
was granted anonymity so they could speak freely.
Shortly
after President Donald Trump took office, White House officials interviewed Nim
Kidd, head of the Texas Division of Emergency Management, to run the nation’s
disaster agency. After POLITICO’s E&E News reported the interview, Kidd
posted a statement on his LinkedIn account acknowledging the interview but
saying, “My work in Texas is not done.”
