FEMA workers who sounded alarm over nation's disaster preparedness reinstated after 8 months

Fourteen FEMA employees who signed a public letter criticizing the nation's disaster preparedness have been reinstated after eight months on paid leave. The letter, known as the “Katrina Declaration,” criticized policy decisions by President Donald Trump's administration. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has reversed several policies of his predecessor, Kristi Noem, including a spending approval policy. The employees were initially reinstated in December but were placed on leave again. One of the reinstated workers expressed relief but remains concerned about the Federal Emergency Management Agency's future. It continues to operate without a permanent administrator.
