Cameron Hamilton served as FEMA's temporary administrator for a short period last year, but he was removed from the position after clashing with top Trump administration officials over whether the agency should exist at all.

Hamilton argues it should.

And in a reversal, the Trump administration now appears to agree.

Hamilton told senators that he believes the agency is important and can do a better job providing timely assistance after disasters.

I believe states need to receive better customer service.

If confirmed, Hamilton will take over the agency just as Atlantic hurricane season gets underway and as above-average wildfire risk threatens much of the West.

This story starts in Cambodia.

And Cambodia, as you may know, experienced horrific political violence in the 1970s under a group called the Khmer Rouge.

Yeah.

And even after the regime fell in 1979, things were still really hard for those who survived because the Khmer Rouge also destroyed the country's economy.

And that's where this story really begins, in those years just after the Khmer Rouge's reign, the late 1970s and into the 1980s.
