Who Is Your FEMA Director?
Senator Feinstein Calls on FEMA to Fill Regional Vacancies
September 29th, 2005

Dianne Feinstein called on Michael Chertoff today to fill vacancies at eight of the ten Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regional directorates - all of which lack permanent, appointed directors. Does your region have a permanent full-time FEMA director?

FEMA is divided into ten regional offices. Each region is responsible for assisting several states to plan for disasters, develop mitigation programs, and meet needs when major disasters occur. Currently, eight of the ten FEMA regional directorates lack full-time directors. In a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, Senator Feinstein stressed that the absence of a permanent, appointed director not only undermines the leadership of the region but also places undue burdens on regional staff who are already stretched thin.
