Meet the Expert

What We Should Do Now

This week we are happy to present two top experts in Emergency Management, who helped lead FEMA during a period of major transition.
A report from Congress, the year before they arrived, said, “FEMA is widely viewed as a political ‘dumping ground,’ a turkey farm, if you will…” Our experts, Jane Bullock and George Haddow, were in the arena fighting battles as FEMA went from having an abysmal record to becoming one of the most respected federal agencies. They have some ideas for us to consider going forward.
