President Donald J. Trump issued an Executive Order on March 24, 2026, to extend the operations of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Review Council.Key details of the order include:Extension of Tenure: The Council, originally established in January 2025 to assess FEMA’s operations, is continued until May 29, 2026, or 10 days after the submission of its final report, whichever comes first.Delegation of Authority: The order directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to perform the presidential functions required under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) as they apply to this Council.Superseding Previous Orders: This directive officially supersedes sections of Executive Order 14378 (issued in January 2026), which had previously governed the Council’s continuance.The order ensures that the Council has the necessary time to finalize its assessment and report on FEMA's effectiveness before concluding its mission.
