Over the course of his career as FEMA Administrator, Craig Fugate oversaw more than 500 presidentially-declared major disasters and emergencies, including Florida's first back-to-back major hurricanes since the 1950s. Coming from a long background in emergency management, after updating Alachua County's disaster plan in February 1987 shortly after being promoted to Lieutenant in Fire Rescue, Fugate's focus during his tenure as FEMA Administrator was preparedness.
