FEMA Spent Nearly Half Its Disaster Budget in Just 8 Days
Criswell disclosed that as of Tuesday, FEMA had spent $9 billion of the $20 billion that Congress put in FEMA’s disaster fund Oct. 1 for the fiscal year that runs through Sept. 30, 2025. It was the first time FEMA has publicly stated how much money it has since Hurricane Helene hit the Southeast two weeks ago.
