Homeland security secretary Kristi Noem said in a cabinet meeting Monday she was “going to eliminate” FEMA, the government’s disaster relief agency.

Noem, 53, did not provide any other specifics about her shock announcement—just that she would seek to kill the agency tasked with responding to natural disasters and emergencies.

The announcement came and went quickly in Monday’s meeting, with there being no other discussion about FEMA’s future.

FEMA is part of the Department of Homeland Security, placing the agency in Noem’s purview. She said last month that she would “get rid of FEMA the way it exists today,” but did not take her aspirations as far as she did in Monday’s meeting. She and Donald Trump have suggested that—in FEMA’s place—each state should dictate its own disaster response.
