From More Perfect Union.

Trump wants to demolish FEMA and says the states will take care of disasters themselves. To test this theory, we talked to the West Virginians who have been slammed by historic flooding in recent weeks. It turns out the state’s flood protection fund is out of funds — and as a result, people are suffering. John Russell reports for More Perfect Union from West Virginia.
