Most Federal Emergency Management Agency employees will need Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s approval to stay on the job after their current terms expire, paving the way for significant staffing reductions as President Donald Trump seeks to shrink federal agencies.
FEMA announced the policy change Friday, stipulating that all renewals and extensions of term positions are subject to the secretary’s approval, according to a memo obtained by Bloomberg Government.
