FEMAは,大冬の嵐の先を休止し,緊急対応能力を確保する. FEMA pauses layoffs ahead of major winter storm to ensure emergency response capacity.

FEMAは,大冬の嵐の直前に何百人もの災害労働者の解雇を休止し,今月から約300人の職員を削った近頃の脱落を逆転させた. FEMA has paused the termination of hundreds of disaster workers ahead of a major winter storm, reversing recent layoffs that had already cut about 300 staff this month. この動きは、嵐の間に人員をフル配置する必要性を背景に、トランプ政権がFEMAの再編を進めている中で行われており、2024年以降数千人の離脱や災害対応の責任を州に移す計画も含まれています。 The move, prompted by the need for full staffing during the storm, comes amid a broader Trump administration effort to restructure FEMA, including thousands of departures since 2024 and plans to shift disaster response duties to states. 2024年以降,当該機関の労働力は9%近く減少し,今後の非常事態への備えについて懸念が高まっている. The agency’s workforce has declined by nearly 9% since 2024, raising concerns about readiness for future emergencies.
