FEMA Administrator Fugate Addresses American Bar Association Homeland Security Law Institute
WASHINGTON, DC — Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Craig Fugate yesterday addressed the American Bar Association (ABA) Homeland Security Law Institute. Fugate discussed the role of the private sector and non-profit entities in engaging the public as part of the nation’s emergency management team.
“FEMA is only one part of the nation’s emergency management team,” said Fugate. ”Our many private sector and non-profit partners play a critical role, particularly in engaging the public in emergency preparedness. Encouraging individuals and families to take a few simple steps, which can be found at Ready.gov, is one of the most important things we can all do to better prepare for emergencies.”
The ABA Homeland Security Law Institute is an annual two-day program designed to provide a comprehensive look at the most pressing issues in homeland security and some of the initiatives being undertaken as part of the nation’s security agenda.
