“Deanne Criswell and the 121 major disasters she’s managing as FEMA administrator.”
Every emergency manager has challenges to be faced at every level of government. The issue with a national position is that things are happening — all the time! Floods, fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, vaccines, PPE, funeral expenses, the list goes on.
The “121 major disasters” might sound big to some, but there are many hundreds more I expect on that list since closeout of disasters can take years and years.
I also expect that Deanne has the adrenaline flowing with being new to the position and also working to get her team in place — while waiting for the next unforeseen pipeline to have an issue that makes the headlines.
