William Craig Fugate (born May 14, 1959)[1] was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 2009 to be the administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.[2] He had been the Director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management. He was appointed director by Gov. Jeb Bush in 2001 and later re-appointed by Gov. Charlie Crist.
Fugate trained in high school as a volunteer firefighter and has cultivated a low profile during his two decades in emergency management.[3] He is also the founder of disastersrus.org, a website with disaster planning advice and links to disaster-related resources.[4]
