FEMA BRIC eliminated - notice coming tomorrow

Apparently it was an AF1 decision, but it’s not a RIF and nothing is known about timelines.

At this point... when do you think PA (Public Assistance) will get affected. And what about IA (Individual Assistance)?

They really don't like how IA is ran so I can foresee a complete overhaul of it. It does need major overhauling though. So many procedures are archaic and make no sense.

I can see that happening with IA, yes. Now, what about PA? All of this seems concerning for PA.

Think if they do indeed push more things to the states, PA will be gutted. There wont be much need for a lot of roles especially PDMGs. moving forward ORR will drop the last R and be the office of response. The rhetoric is suggesting a decrease in long term recovery support by FEMA and for the states to take more responsibility in their long term recovery. which they already do, but I think they would want to pull our staff from continuing to provide long term assistance and seeing all those projects through

who knows all of this makes zero sense how they are approaching things and they continue to hack away without thinking about the impacts to all stakeholders
