I know I’m a bit behind, but with the changeover in administrations in Washington comes a change over at FEMA.
Craig Fugate
Craig Fugate, formerly Director of Florida’s Division of Emergency Management (a post he held for 8 years), has been named to head FEMA, with Jason R. McNamara coming on as his Chief of Staff. McNamara was formerly Director of Emergency Management at Dewberry, one of FEMA’s largest contractors.
Here’s a video of Fugate at work in his previous job. This is a great example of a fully-stocked “Media Center” with public service announcements, lessons learned, and even sessions with school children available in video format, coupled with copies of disaster plan materials: emergency checklists, disaster supply lists and even links to help Florida businesses create business plans.
