Trump ja FEMA: Kausi 2 alkaa – mitä tapahtuu seuraavaksi?

FEMA - Kalifornia - katastrofihallinta - myrskyt - palot - pelastustoimet - Pohjois-Carolina - Trump

Trumpin haastattelu herättää kysymyksiä FEMA:sta, kun hän vierailee katastrofialueilla NC:ssä ja Kaliforniassa. Ihmiset kysyvät: onko tämä loppu FEMA:lle?

Presidentti Donald Trump aloitti toisen kautensa hyvinkin värikkäissä merkeissä, kun hän suuntasi ensitöikseen North Carolinassa ja Kaliforniassa sijaitseville katastrofialueille. Hänen matkastaan ei puuttunut draamaa: kesken kiertueen Trump alkoi kyseenalaistaa liittovaltion hätätilahallintoviraston, tunnetummalta nimeltään FEMA, merkitystä. "Miksi osavaltiot eivät voisi hoitaa tätä itse?" kysyi Trump, mikä herätti useita kysymyksiä kansallisen katastrofivalmiuden tulevaisuudesta.

FEMA:n osalta Trump esitti, että hän saattaisi jopa purkaa tai muuttaa virastoa radikaalisti. Hänen mielestään viraston hoito Hurricane Helene -kriisin aikana oli ollut kyseenalaista, ja tämä avasikin keskustelun siitä, onko FEMA:sta todellista hyötyä kunnioitettavalla valtiolla, kuten Yhdysvalloilla. Vastareaktio oli voimakas, sillä monet paikalliset asukkaat ovat olleet riippuvaisia FEMA:n tarjoamasta avusta luonnonkatastrofien jälkeen, kuten viimeisimpien metsäpalojen jälkeen Kaliforniassa.

FEMA kuitenkin jatkaa toimintansa tukemista ja avustustyötä, kuten Altadenassa avautuvan katastrofipalvelukeskuksen kautta, joka on suunniteltu auttamaan asukkaita, joilla on ollut vahinkoja ensisijaisessa asunnossaan tai henkilökohtaista omaisuuttaan. Vaikka Trumpin kehityssuunnitelmat voivat herättää huolta, on selvää, että monet nauttivat vieläkin viraston tuesta.

Matka North Carolinassa ja Kaliforniassa, jossa Trump tarkasteli tuhoutuneita alueita, ja hänen esittämänsä ideat FEMA:n lopettamisesta saavat asiantuntijat pohtimaan, mikä tämän vitriinivuoren taustalla on. Jos Trump todella aikoo toteuttaa suunnitelmansa, se voisi vaikuttaa merkittävästi katastrofihallinnan kehitykseen Yhdysvalloissa.

**Mielenkiintoinen fakta:** FEMA perustettiin vuonna 1979, ja sen päämääränä on parantaa Yhdysvaltojen valmiutta eri katastrofien varalta, mutta nyt se on Trumpin tähtäimessä. **Tämä keskustelu on ajankohtainen myös Suomeen**, jossa sään ääri-ilmiöt ovat yleistyneet, ja luonnonkatastrofien riskin arviointi korostuu entisestään.
