The Emergency Management External Affairs Association (EMEAA) has announced that they are hosting Brock Long as their guest speaker on Sep 10 at 12:00 pm ET for an online event. Brock, an Editorial Board member at Homeland Security Today, will focus on individual and community preparedness—particularly relevant with September being National Preparedness Month—and emphasize the shared responsibility for successful disaster response and recovery, as well as the vital role communicators play in crisis situations. This is a free event! Attendees from EMEAA, IAEM, AEMO, Disaster Podcast, HSToday, and the general public are welcome to attend.
Presently, Brock serves as the Executive Chairman at Hagerty Consulting. In this role he works to advance Hagerty’s thought leadership and advocacy, using lessons gained from his time as FEMA Administrator and in his previous work as both a consultant and public servant leading local, state, and federal emergency management programs.
While serving as FEMA Administrator, Brock coordinated the federal government’s response to over 144 Presidentially declared disasters and 112 wildfires, including three of the Nation’s most devastating hurricanes and five of the worst wildfires ever experienced. In this role he coordinated the entire array of federal government resources in support of 50 states, 573 tribal governments, and 16 island territories to assist them with executing disaster preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery.
