SUMMARY: FEMA officials warn they are unprepared for the upcoming hurricane season amid significant layoffs, political tensions, and reduced coordination with states, according to an internal review. The agency faces low morale and mission uncertainty, exacerbated by the Trump administration’s repeated criticism and desire to eliminate FEMA. Since the Trump administration began, FEMA lost about 30% of its staff. Meanwhile, the National Weather Service (NWS) is also struggling with more than 560 departures, 155 critical vacancies, and federal budget cuts impacting disaster prediction and response. Experts emphasize the need for managed change and sufficient funding to maintain effective storm preparedness.

As the June 1 start of hurricane season approaches, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is grappling with significant challenges, according to an internal agency review obtained by CNN. The document reveals that FEMA officials admit they are unprepared for the upcoming storms and the damage they may bring. The review highlights issues such as minimal coordination with states, new bureaucratic hurdles that could slow emergency responses, low morale, and uncertainty about the agency’s mission.

SUMMARY: Wall Street is finishing a strong week, with the S\&P 500 up 0.1% and heading for its fifth straight gain, boosted by hopes that President Trump will reduce tariffs after reaching trade deals.
