May 14, 1 PM ET via Zoom – Join us to discuss a new report that overviews how the Trump administration’s drastic overhaul of FEMA and cuts to flood resilience programs have impacted Appalachian communities. The report includes a timeline which details key administrative, legislative, and legal milestones from 2025 that catalyzed FEMA’s now precarious state in 2026. The report also finds a pattern of declining federal support consistent with our previous Federal Funding Flatline reports: FEMA investments peaked under the Biden Administration but then fell sharply after intentional cutbacks by the Trump administration.
This report is part of our ongoing work to track the impacts of federal policy changes on the Appalachian region. You can see previous reports on our resources page.
