The Trump administration is reversing the reinstatement of 14 FEMA workers who signed a petition earlier this year warning that cuts to the agency were putting the U.S. at risk of repeating the mistakes made during the response to Hurricane Katrina. Soon after they signed the letter back in August, FEMA suspended the workers. Last Wednesday, they were reinstated, but hours later they were suspended again. Jeremy Edwards, a former FEMA official who signed the Katrina declaration, said that the back-and-forth over the status of the FEMA employees “represents the type of dysfunction and inefficiency that has plagued FEMA under this administration.”
