The acting head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) said on Thursday that the disaster response agency will review grants and funding to nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) amid the Trump administration’s calls to reform the agency.

The acting director, Cameron Hamilton, said in a post on social media platform X that the agency will look into agency funding for NGOs and that “survivors and communities impacted by disasters are and will continue to be our main priority.”
