South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is on track to be confirmed as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security .

Noem 's confirmation process is also taking place amid the ongoing wildfire crisis in California and recovery from devastating hurricanes in the Southeast .

If she is confirmed as head of DHS , she will be tasked with overseeing FEMA as it navigates a response to those disasters that Trump has been sharply critical of.

There have been concerns that removing one agency from the department’s aegis could set a precedent that leads to further exits.

Noem can hit the ground running on disaster management by respecting FEMA 's history of relative autonomy within DHS , Schlegelmilch said.

The next DHS secretary must “cut the bulls—” on climate change, he said.
