URGENT: FEMA Acting Chief Abruptly Resigns After Six Months Amid Crisis.

Breaking News: FEMA Acting Chief Abruptly Resigns After Six Months Amid Crisis The acting chief of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, David Richardson, has resigned from his position after just six months on the job. Richardson's departure comes amid a year of mass staff departures, program cuts, and policy upheaval at the agency. Richardson's resignation was announced by the Department of Homeland Security on Monday, with no immediate explanation for his departure. A FEMA employee familiar with the situation confirmed that Richardson faced criticism for his handling of the deadly Texas floods earlier this year. Richardson took over as acting head of FEMA in May, replacing Cameron Hamilton. His brief tenure has been marked by a lack of public visibility, and his departure is the latest disruption to hit the agency. The immediate impact of Richardson's resignation is unclear, but it is likely to cause further disruption to FEMA's operations. The agency is currently dealing with a range of crises, including flash flooding in California and other parts of the country. This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
