The leader of the country's top disaster coordination office has resigned, the latest high-level official to resign from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), as President Trump moves to eliminate the agency.

Jeremy Greenberg led the National Response Coordination Center at FEMA since 2020. He resigned last week, he confirmed to NPR.

The top FEMA position is currently held by an interim leader, David Richardson, who has no prior emergency management experience. After he was installed in May, Reuters reported more than a dozen top FEMA employees resigned.

Greenberg's resignation further hobbles the agency, as the U.S. enters its busiest season for extreme weather disasters including hurricanes, floods and wildfires. Climate change is causing more severe weather across the country.
