Double -sided couple Florida legislators It is associated with the establishment of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as a separate agency at the cabinet level in an effort to “reduce bureaucracy, improve government efficiency and save lives.”
Reps. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla, and Byron Donalds, R-Fla. On Monday, they presented the FEMA Independence Act, which aims to separate the agency from the “bureaucratic laboratory” department for the Department for the Department for the Department for the Department for Homeland Security (DHS) and return it to your basic mission of an ambulance.
“As the first emergency management director has ever been elected to Congress, I have first seen the challenges of preparation, reacting and recovery from the events in disasters. Since these emergencies are still becoming more and more widespread, the US people deserve a federal response that is effective and fast,” Moscowitz said in a statement divided by Fox News Digital. “In order to achieve this, Fama should be reformed.”
The proposal of the law would also require that the director be appointed to run the agency after confirmation by the Senate.

The director would be asked to “show the ability and knowledge of management in emergency situations and homeland safety” and not less than five years of executive experience of leadership and management in the public and private sector, according to Bill’s text.
Moscowitz pointed out that Fema sits under the “DHS umbrella” with about 20 other agencies, saying: “Setting up simply does not work.”
“By removing FEMA from the Ministry of Internal Security and returning the status of the independent, agencies at the cabinet level, my double-sided account will help reduce the bureaucracy, improve the efficiency of the Government and the rescue of life,” Moscowitz said. “It will also help to divert FEMA to its original mission: as an agency that is in charge of answering before, during and after the disaster.”

Donalds, in a statement shared with Fox, said: “Fema has become overly bureaucratic, overly politicized, overly ineffective and needs a significant change in order to serve the US people best.”
“When the catastrophe hits, a quick and effective action must be standard – not an exception,” the Republican Congressman wrote. “It is necessary for FEMA to be removed from the bureaucratic Labyrinth of the DHS and instead was appointed to apply directly to the President of the United States.”
The proposal of the law comes two months after President Donald Trump Audit Council launched As part of the initiative to start “the basic reform and overhaul of” the agency.
“Despite the fact that each of the last three years has committed nearly $ 30 billion in disasters, FEMA managed to leave vulnerable Americans without resources or support they need when they need it most,” writes Trump’s command. “There is a serious concern for political bias in FEMA. Indeed, at least one former FEMA response said that Fem managers have directed her to avoid the homes of individuals who support Donald J. Trump’s campaign for president.”
