FEMA Chief's Shocking Admission: 'I Didn't Know We Had a Hurricane Season'

FEMA Director's Ignorance of Hurricane Season Sparks Outrage The recent revelation that the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), appointed during the Trump administration, was reportedly unaware of the existence of the US hurricane season has sent shockwaves through the agency and beyond. The claim, made in a recent video by Aaron Parnas, alleges that the director made this astonishing statement during an all-staff meeting in May. The video cites exclusive reporting from writers familiar with the matter. "He told staff that he didn't know the United States had a hurricane season," Parnas states in the video. "No, I'm not kidding. This is new exclusive reporting from writers." This revelation is particularly alarming given FEMA's critical role in providing aid and disaster relief to areas impacted by hurricanes, including states like North Carolina, which has frequently experienced hurricane devastation. The timing of the disclosure is also noteworthy, as the 2025 hurricane season officially began on June 1st. While the video doesn't definitively confirm whether the FEMA director was joking or serious, the fact that such a statement was made to staff has raised concerns about the agency's preparedness for future hurricane events. The video concludes by urging viewers to spread the word and learn more, directing them to the presenter's Substack for further information. The situation underscores the importance of strong leadership and preparedness within FEMA, especially during critical times.
