In-Town Pool Note #4: Wildfire Briefing Ongoing

The event is being live streamed on White House socials, I'm told.

Notably, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Sanders is here watching.

The president said, “we want to wean off of FEMA, and we want to bring it down to the state level, a little bit like education.” He vows also to “clean the forests” as part of forest management “and get rid of dead wood.”

Conversation remains about wildfires and is ongoing.

Best,
