华盛顿,3月25日(路透社) – 美国联邦应急管理局(FEMA)周三表示,在经历法律挫折后,它正在恢复去年取消的一项防灾项目,并重新接受资金申请。

美国联邦地区法官理查德·斯特恩斯(Richard Stearns)去年12月裁定,唐纳德·特朗普总统的政府非法终止了FEMA的赠款项目,该项目旨在在自然灾害发生前保护各州和社区。

本月,斯特恩斯下令该机构采取更多措施恢复名为“建设韧性基础设施和社区计划”(Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program)的项目。

FEMA在周三的声明中表示:“通过这一资助机会,FEMA将向各州、地方政府、领地和部落国家提供10亿美元的联邦资金,授权他们采取果断、主动的措施,保护社区免受火灾、洪水、地震和飓风等潜在灾害的影响。”

FEMA隶属于美国国土安全部,该机构去年4月宣布终止该项目,称其浪费资金、效率低下且具有政治化倾向。

自特朗普2025年1月上任以来,FEMA经历了大幅裁员。

该机构的使命是在灾害发生前、期间和之后帮助民众,包括飓风、龙卷风、地震和洪水等灾害。它会向受灾地区派遣应急人员、物资和设备。

民主党议员批评特朗普政府和前国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆(Kristi Noem)在FEMA赠款审批上进展缓慢。

WASHINGTON, March 25 (Reuters) – The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency said on Wednesday it was resuming a disaster ​prevention program it canceled last year and reopening ‌it to funding applications following legal setbacks.

U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns ruled in December that President Donald Trump’s administration had unlawfully terminated ​the FEMA grant program designed to protect states ​and communities against natural disasters before they occur.

This ⁠month, Stearns ordered the agency to take more steps ​in restoring the program called the Building Resilient Infrastructure ​and Communities program.

“Through this funding opportunity, FEMA is making $1 billion in federal funding available to states, local governments, territories and Tribal Nations, ​empowering them to take decisive, proactive steps to ​protect their communities from potential disasters like fires, floods, earthquakes and ‌hurricanes,” ⁠FEMA said in a statement on Wednesday.

FEMA, which is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, announced last April it would end the program, calling it wasteful, ​ineffective and ​politicized.

FEMA has seen ⁠significant staff cuts since Trump took office in January 2025.

The agency’s mission is ​to help people before, during and after disasters, ​including ⁠hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and floods. It brings in emergency personnel, supplies and equipment to stricken areas.

Democratic lawmakers have criticized ⁠the ​Trump administration and former DHS ​chief Kristi Noem for what they say is the slow-walking of FEMA ​grants.
