Destroying FEMA


Listen Later

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been in the news for months. Both President Trump and the Secretary of Homeland Security have made remarks that FEMA should be abolished, perhaps moved out of DHS and physically out of Washington, D.C. A council has been established to examine how the federal response and recovery efforts to disasters should be accomplished moving forward. The current status and future of FEMA is the topic of this podcast.

The podcast guest is Michael A. Coen Jr. who has been a right hand advisor to three Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) directors and administrators, to include: James Lee Witt, W. Craig Fugate and Deanne Criswell. He recently served as Chief of Staff to Deanne Criswell during the Biden administration. Most recently is has been an outspoken advocate for FEMA’s mission of creating a disaster resilient United States.

He is an outcome-oriented executive with proven management and leadership experience. A track record of accomplishment in managing during times of crisis, implementing strategic vision, leading organizational change, building coalitions, fostering collaboration and communicating during crisis. Michael effectively and
comfortably operates in high-profile politically charged environments.
