墨西哥湾地区的官员表示他们已为应对风暴做好准备，但紧急事务管理专家指出，此次飓风可能成为特朗普政府大幅削减预算并重组该机构后，联邦紧急事务管理局能否有效调配大量应急人员的一次重大考验。
尽管各州官员称已做好防备，但外界仍对该机构未来的应对能力心存疑虑。
Gulf officials say they are ready for storm but concerns raised about restructured agency’s ability to respond effectively Gulf state officials say they are prepared for Hurricane Isaias, but the storm could be the first major test of Fema’s ability to deploy a large surge workforce after the Trump administration’s sweeping cuts and restructuring of the agency, emergency management experts say.
据美国政府问责局最新报告显示，在2025财年中，超过4,300名工作人员离开了该机构，约占其总人数的17%。
The Trump administration has said it wants to eliminate, or drastically downsize, Fema, putting more burden on states.
该局国土安全与司法事务主管克里斯·柯里指出，此次人员缩减并未经过周密的规划，难以确保该机构继续履行法定职责。
More than 4,300 employees left the agency in fiscal year 2025, about 17% of the workforce, according to a recent US government accountability office (GAO) report.
特朗普政府此前曾表示，计划彻底撤销或大幅缩减联邦紧急事务管理局的规模，从而将更多责任转嫁给各州。
The agency’s staffing reductions were not carried out systematically to ensure Fema could still meet its statutory obligations, said Chris Currie, director of homeland security and justice at the GAO.
