finally something good to write about--with a fema connection

To begin with there is this story, Future of FEMA uncertain as local emergency management agencies prepare for 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season

I know, it doesn’t sound good…but, then there is mention of Laura Goudreau, deputy director of Montgomery County EMA in the article.

Well, Laura worked previously at Washington State Emergency Management and then she moved up to work at FEMA Region X. She was an outstanding emergency manager in all the positions she held, both at the state and with FEMA.

The good news is that when Laura left FEMA Region X, she did not leave the profession of emergency management. Montgomery County was lucky to pick her up as a Deputy Director. Way to go Laura!

Finally a bit of good news in an otherwise dreary situation.
