Fugate Brings Florida Ideas to FEMA
Written by Phil on October 7, 2009 in disaster preparedness, Emergency Response.
Craig Fugate brought three lessons with him when he took over the Federal Emergency Management Agency: Always be ready for disasters, make sure people take responsibility for themselves and get the message out creatively.
He also is stressing FEMA isn’t the only team that handles disasters, but rather part of a network that needs every level of government to be prepared — unlike what happened when Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. That’s why he changed the agency’s mission statement to include the words “working together as a nation” in emergencies.
