From Axios: FEMA set to run out of money before peak hurricane season
“The federal government’s disaster relief fund is on pace to run out of money at the height of both the hurricane and wildfire seasons, a top official warned this week.

Why it matters: Government funding emergencies aren’t new, but the climate crisis has sent the number of costly natural disasters soaring, stretching the Federal Emergency Management Agency thin at the worst time of year.

What they’re saying: “We can no longer speak of a ‘disaster season’ — we now face intensified natural disasters throughout the year, often in places that are not used to experiencing them,” FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell told a House subcommittee Thursday.

Criswell said that in 2010, FEMA had 108 declared disasters to support. A decade later, the number jumped to 315.
“Our mission has not changed, but our operating environment has,” she said. “And with that, comes the challenge of ensuring that everyone who qualifies for FEMA assistance is able to access that help.”
