Politics does not dictate our collective cultural mindset as much as it simply reflects it; We've got to look in the mirror sometimes, and we've got one.

Federal Emergency Management Agency
When it comes to defending the American people from disasters, the government must ensure that this country's citizens are provided with as much protection and care as possible. During the year 1979, there was a total of 6,855 natural disasters within the world (Ritchie, 2019). This was one reason that prompted President Carter to sign Executive Order 12127 in April 1979, which established the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and gave them the mission of emergency management and civil defense within the United States (FEMA, 2020). In 2002, President Bush signed the Homeland Security Act, creating the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which united FEMA under DHS, making them no longer an independent agency (FEMA, 2020). Since joining DHS, FEMA has had many challenges including budget and staff cuts, along with authority concerns from DHS running federal responses instead of FEMA staff (Bosner, 2020). This paper’s thesis will provide the reader with an overall view of disasters FEMA has faced since joining DHS, challenges they have encountered since falling under the structure of DHS, and the benefits of changing FEMA back to an independent agency.
