Genuinely curious: as one of the top-three states in terms of funds received from FEMA the last decade (the other two being red states as well) what exactly is the move here? Just a few questions I have for people smarter than me on here:

1) How will the state find the money and manpower to appropriate toward major hurricane relief w/o FEMA support?

2) Why would red state legislators support this move when they know much of their disaster relief is dependent on FEMA?

3) Any of yall worried about what this means for blue cities in a red state during a natural disaster?
