Trump’s Leader for FEMA Wins Praise, but Proposed Budget Cuts Don’t

Even with Mr. Long leading the agency, FEMA still faces issues that are not related to its leadership. His skill will soon be tested.

And despite Mr. Long’s extensive experience as a state emergency manager, the federal agency has yet to face a major disaster under his leadership.

  1. Good luck Mr. Long. Being administrator of FEMA is a huge and important undertaking. Your success at FEMA translates into the agency being help those in need during a disaster. Hopefully your past emergency management experience at the state level will be beneficial with managing the agency.
