Team Rubicon, a humanitarian nonprofit, is preparing to assist in disaster recovery in new ways due to uncertainty over federal government response. With concerns about potential changes to FEMA, the group is evaluating how they can help communities if federal resources are reduced. Nonprofits and funders are under pressure from more frequent and severe climate events, and there are worries that FEMA may approve fewer major disaster declarations. Relief organizations are pre-positioning supplies and preparing for potential gaps in federal assistance, emphasizing the importance of community support and resilience.
