The seven awards that were awarded recognize individuals who have taken action to prepare their communities. This year, highlighted accomplishments were achieved between
January 1, 2012 and June 5, 2013. “We can only be prepared for disasters if we have strong leadership in our communities,” said FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate. “Today’s winners represent a cross-section of our community and demonstrate how emergency management is a shared
responsibility.”
