You idiots never question and never think for yourselves. No wonder you follow pied pipers like Trump. This happened 10 times recently and 2 under Trump.
FEMA implemented a status called Immediate Needs Funding (INF). 2024 makes the tenth time since 2001 that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has implemented the status to help extend the remaining balance of the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF). Under the status called "Immediate Needs Funding," FEMA pauses payments related to Public Assistance (PA) that are not essential for lifesaving or life-sustaining activities.
When FEMA gets an injection of new funding to the DRF from Congress, payments will resume to cover the expense of the paused PA projects.
Since 2001, FEMA has implemented INF status a total of ten times: 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2017, 2019, 2023 and 2024.
According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), hurricanes have the largest impact on DRF spending, and FEMA says large responses deplete the fund rapidly. A November 2022 report from the CBO outlines how hurricanes impact the DRF and FEMA's obligations to help communities recover from major disasters.
