Micah Bock to Newsmax: ‘Reform FEMA From the Ground Up’

Micah Bock, the deputy assistant secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, told Newsmax on Monday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency must be “fundamentally” restructured, “eliminating it as it exists today” to improve its response to natural disasters.

Bock, in an interview with Newsmax’s “National Report,” defended the Trump administration’s response to the flooding in Central Texas, criticizing the Biden administration as being at the root of the agency’s issues.

Bock said, “FEMA has not served the interests of the American people and provided for their needs in a very, very long time. So fundamentally, restructuring FEMA and eliminating it as it exists today into a new organization is right in line with serving the American people in the ways in which those needs need to be met.”
