In a coordinated legal effort, 20 states have filed lawsuits against the Trump administration for terminating crucial FEMA disaster mitigation funding programs. These lawsuits, led by various state attorneys general, argue that the cuts to disaster prevention grants put communities at greater risk from natural disasters. States like North Carolina, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Washington are among those challenging the decision, citing the loss of hundreds of millions in federal funding aimed at disaster preparedness and resilience. Critics of the administration assert that these funding reductions undermine essential infrastructure and protection measures needed to safeguard lives and property from floods and other natural disasters.
