In a memo sent to FEMA employees on Wednesday, acting FEMA administrator David Richardson wrote, “The 2022-2026 FEMA Strategic Plan is hereby rescinded. The Strategic Plan contains goals and objectives that bear no connection to FEMA accomplishing its mission. Multiple FEMA employees say that they did not know of another time when a strategic plan had been rescinded without another in place. The strategic plan is “primarily symbolic,” says one employee. Under Secretary Noem’s leadership, and the efforts of Acting Administrator Richardson FEMA is fully activated in preparation for Hurricane Season.”
