AI Summary

Fourteen Federal Emergency Management Agency employees returned to work this week after eight months on administrative leave. The workers had been placed on leave for signing a public letter that criticized the Trump administration’s cuts to disaster‑relief funding. The letter, titled “Katrina declaration,” warned that the funding reductions left the United States dangerously unprepared for natural disasters. The employees were briefly reinstated in December before being sent back to leave. Their return follows the agency’s decision to reinstate them after the leave period.
