The following interview was conducted on 17 May 2021 as part of the Conversations on Family Urban Disaster Planning Summit.

Our first speaker of the series is James Lee Witt.

James Lee was appointed as the FEMA Director by President Clinton. James Lee is perhaps best known for the credit he received for turning FEMA from an unsuccessful bureaucratic agency to an internationally acclaimed all-hazards disaster management agency.

He currently serves as senior advisor to fortune 500 companies and government leaders around the world.

This interview is enlightening, engaging, and entertaining. We will all probably learn something.
