FEMA whistleblowers who had been placed on leave after warning that the agency wasn’t prepared for disasters under Kristi Noem have returned.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency, NBC News reported Thursday, has invited back at least 15 of the 192 current and former staffers who signed the “Katrina Declaration” letter to Congress last August. In the letter, they claimed the Trump administration was undoing emergency response systems put in place after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The following day, staffers were put on indefinite leave, but were able to retain their pay and benefits.
A FEMA spokesperson told NBC that the agency wouldn’t comment on specific personnel moves, but was “addressing outstanding personnel actions.”
