Trump’s 2018 budget blueprint proposed more than $1 billion in cuts to FEMA—11 percent of its total footprint.

The proposal would make major cuts to six FEMA grants, including its two largest for preparing for and responding to emergencies.

It would also entirely eliminate grants funding for emergency food and shelter and training for first responders.
