    The President has issued an Executive Order to create a Federal Emergency Management Agency Review Council aimed at assessing and improving FEMA's response to disasters. This council will consist of up to 20 members, including government officials and experts, to evaluate FEMA's effectiveness and suggest improvements. The council's tasks include comparing FEMA's previous disaster responses with those of other entities, analyzing debate on FEMA's role, and recommending reforms. The council will seek public input and produce a report to the President within 180 days from its first public meeting.

They are inviting individuals and stakeholders to share their experiences through comments, which will help the Council evaluate and suggest improvements for FEMA's operations. The feedback is to be submitted by May 15, 2025, and should not include sensitive or proprietary information, as all responses will be publicly accessible. This request aims to gather diverse perspectives that will inform the Council's recommendations to the President.

    Simple Explanation
