The new Trump administration’s temporary appointment as the lead administrator of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), former Navy SEAL veteran Cameron Hamilton, is raising eyebrows in the aftermath of the devastating Los Angeles Fires.
According to the New York Times: "Mr. Hamilton is an unusual choice to lead the agency, even in a temporary capacity. Since Hurricane Katrina, when the federal response was severely criticized, FEMA has been led by disaster management professionals who have run state or local emergency management agencies, or were regional administrators at FEMA."
Hamilton, who had previously worked as an emergency management specialist at the State Department, takes the helm of the agency after criticizing its response to last fall's flooding incident in western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene.
