Trump to sign disaster relief order putting states, localities in the driver's seat of catastrophe response

"This Order restores state, local, and individual empowerment in disaster preparedness and response, and injects common sense into infrastructure prioritization and strategic investments through risk-informed decisions that make our infrastructure, communities, and economy more resilient to global and dynamic threats and hazards," details on the order obtained by Fox News Digital show. 

The order emphasizes the role of states, localities and individual leadership over federal leadership while preparing for and coping with disasters - such as flooding or fires - and will "streamline" federal functions so local communities can more easily work with federal leaders in Washington, Fox News Digital learned. 

Officials will be called to review "all infrastructure, continuity, and preparedness and response policies" to ensure they fall in line with the National Resilience Strategy. 

The order will shift the federal government's "all-hazards" approach to handling disasters to a "risk-informed approach" that will prioritize "resilience and action over mere information sharing," Fox Digital learned. 

Trump signed a separate executive order in January establishing FEMA Review Council to "drastically" improve the federal agency tasked with handling disaster assistance across the nation. 

Trump signed a separate executive order on Jan. 24 that provides additional water resources to California to improve the state's response to disaster. 

The order Trump is expected to sign on Monday will serve as a continuation of his pledge "to shift power from Washington to the American people," similar to the California executive order and establishing the FEMA Review Council in January, Fox Digital learned.
