David Richardson took over FEMA at a time of turmoil for the agency.
President Trump has said he wants FEMA to be eliminated as it exists today and wants states to take over preparation for disasters like hurricanes and wildfires.
Richardson was criticized by lawmakers after the deadly floods in Texas this summer for not being more available as a disaster unfolded.
In a statement, FEMA thanked Richardson for his service and says the agency is anticipating a report from a FEMA review council soon, which will recommend how the agency should be restructured.
