Today we dive into all things related to Brock Long's impressive career as a change agent and leader in emergency management. We talk about the complexities of a FEMA response in coordinated response, the need for disaster declaration reform, moving forward with a career in mind, and how to better prepare for disaster through mitigation. Brock speaks extensively about the mitgation process and changes that need to happen at FEMA and State governments to clear the way for communities to become Disaster Tough. "Brock Long is the former Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Confirmed in June 2017 by the US Senate with strong bipartisan support (95-4), Brock served as the Nation’s principal advisor to the President responsible for coordinating the entire array of federal government resources down through 50 states, 573 tribal governments, and 16 island territories to assist them with executing disaster preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery. Brock is the 10th Administrator and the youngest to hold the office. While serving as 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. During this time, nearly $44 billion of disaster activity occurred under the various federal recovery programs. "As the FEMA Administrator, Brock led two major initiatives which will have long-lasting impacts on the emergency management community. He rapidly transformed the agency’s business enterprise by implementing innovative Community Lifeline and FEMA Integration Team concepts to strengthen public-private partnerships and permanently embed full-time staff within the offices of state and tribal governments to better meet constituent needs. Further, as the result of effective advocacy and eight influential Congressional testimonies, Congress passed the Disaster Recovery Reform Act and made pre-disaster mitigation a national priority, provided meaningful changes to the FEMA workforce, and bolstered state and local emergency management capability. "From 2008-2011, Brock served as Director of Alabama’s Emergency Management Agency (AEMA) under Governor Bob Riley. As Director, he served as the State Coordinating Officer for 14 disasters, including eight presidentially-declared events. Brock also served as an on-scene State Incident Commander for the Alabama Unified Command during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. "He is a graduate of the prestigious Executive Leadership Program offered by the US Naval Postgraduate School/Center for Homeland Defense and Security. He attended Appalachian State University where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Public Administration." - Hagerty Consulting website; Brock Long Bio

After a historic 2017, hurricane season, 2018 closed as anything but less challenging for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. On this episode, we caught up with FEMA Administrator Brock Long to discuss the monumental task of supporting recovery efforts from 2017 while responding to another historic disaster year in 2018. We focus not only on that work, but on the agency's strategic plan going forward, lessons learned from recent events and FEMA’s continuous improvement initiatives. We also discuss recent groundbreaking legislation that will significantly impact the way the agency serves the American public going forward.

He has been on the job for only one year, but this week’s guest has faced a career of natural disasters! Harvey, Irma, Maria, tornadoes, floods and yes, even lava have kept FEMA Administrator Brock Long on the go. How is he doing? What has he learned about the job? Where is FEMA headed? These questions and more for America’s top emergency manager, FEMA Administrator Brock Long.

Hurricane Harvey and Irma are revealing a lot of things to those who have the eyes to see. FEMA Administrator Brock Long has come out already stating that "We're going to be in Texas for years." This comes after the Texas National Guard has already deployed 12,000 soldiers, requesting an additional 30,000. If this sounds strange and familiar at the same time, you may be thinking of the military exercises Jade Helm 15 and UWEX 16. Those controversial military exercises that strangely enough, planned for events that are currently taking place today. Curfews, militarized police, undisclosed locations, organ harvesting and even shoot-to-kill orders? On top of that, we're getting reports of how people who have been rescued are being taken to Wal-Marts and other containment facilities in the area. Yet, while all this chaos is happening, Pope Francis has come out declaring that the people of the planet need to "Listen to the cry of the Earth!" What I believe we're seeing here is the flood waters of the New World Order beginning to baptize America into the cult of the One World Religion & Government. We're talking about martial law, the rising police state and massive steps towards Agenda 21 & 2030 being taken.
