The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is in charge of the Federal Response in Disasters. Kevin Coleman talks about his experience in the field and his current role as the FEMA Corps Program Liaison.
Kevin Coleman is an experienced Federal Response Official with years of experience and countless deployments to large-scale disasters. During the COVID-19 Federal Response, he worked on a joint agency taskforce to recommend and build federal capabilities around the county. This task force was responsible for testing over a million people by the beginning of the summer alone.
As the program Liaison for FEMA Corps, he combines his own experience with the program as a former team leader with his response experience from the IMAT to help FEMA Corps members gain experience in emergency management through training and working with field experts.
Kevin Coleman and the host John Scardena worked on the same response team. FEMA is not a paid sponsor of this podcast.
