David Richardson, the acting head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, is stepping down from his role, according to multiple reports, leaving his post after just six months on the job.

Richardson resigned from the position, The Washington Post reported, noting the FEMA chief developed a reputation for being inaccessible, including during the Central Texas floods in July.

Forbes has reached out to FEMA for comment.
