President Donald Trump is expected to nominate former U.S. Navy SEAL Cameron Hamilton, who was fired as the Federal Emergency Management Agency's acting leader last year, as FEMA's permanent administrator. Hamilton was fired a day after testifying against proposals to dismantle the agency, an idea that has been floated by the president. If confirmed, Hamilton would be the principal advisor to the president and the Homeland Security secretary for all matters related to emergency management. His nomination comes at a crucial time for FEMA, as its future remains uncertain. Hamilton's role in FEMA is uncertain due to his lack of experience and his lacklustlustre spending.
