FEMA Drops Climate Change Mentions From Strategic Plan

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has scrubbed all mention of climate change from  its latest strategic plan .

FEMA, which coordinates government response to natural disasters like floods, wildfires and hurricanes, released the plan on Thursday.

Unlike the previous Obama-era version, this document  doesn't mention  climate change, global warming or related terms.  Outlets point to one passage  that reads, "Disaster costs are expected to continue to increase due to rising natural hazard risk" but doesn't say what contributes to that increased risk.  This isn't the only time a Trump-era federal agency has made a move like this.

Last year,  the White House  dropped most mentions of climate change from its website, as did the  Environmental Protection Agency.
