Could FEMA Relocate To Texas?

The Trump administration is reportedly thinking about relocating FEMA to Texas and putting the state’s top emergency official in charge. Nim Kidd, head of the Texas Division of Emergency Management, declined an offer earlier this year to run FEMA. Kidd later said he’s “committed to serving Texas first.” Kidd and Governor Greg Abbott both sit on a 13-member FEMA review council appointed by Trump. The council is reportedly expected to recommend FEMA’s move to Texas so as accommodate Kidd’s desire to remain in the state. No word yet as to what Texas city would become FEMA’s home base.
