FEMA administrator on expanding access to disaster relief

Season 2024 Episode 95 | 6m 26s

Last month, FEMA made what it calls the “most significant updates to disaster assistance in 20 years.” It expands access to money for food, water, and other essentials, funds immediate housing needs when people can’t return home, helps repairs not covered by insurance and reduces paperwork required for temporary housing. Amna Nawaz discussed the changes with FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell.
