because after this storm has passed there will never be another natural disaster such as a Hurricane, a major tornado outbreak, a massive wildfire, or another crippling Ice-snowstorm across the US
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has abruptly halted the termination of hundreds of disaster workers because of the massive winter storm.
In an email Thursday obtained by CNN, staff were told FEMA would stop dismissing workers whose contracts are expiring. Sources told CNN the looming winter storm was a major factor in the pause.
The decision came hours after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited FEMA headquarters for a storm briefing.
The Trump administration is conducting a major FEMA overhaul, with thousands of employees leaving through layoffs and buyouts. In June 2025, administration officials suggested phasing out FEMA in its current form and shifting responsibilities to state governments.
Critics have warned that cutting FEMA could put a strain on state and local resources
