Alabama Governor Bob R. Riley appointed Brock Long as State Director of Alabama Emergency Management Agency in late January. Long comes to Alabama after working at the state and federal levels in hurricane planning and response. “Alabama is fortunate to be gaining someone with Brock’s level of experience, talent and energy,” said Governor Riley Long replaces acting Director John James who was appointed after Bruce Baughman retired after four and half years of service as State Director. James has served in local and state emergency management for nearly 20 years, and CUSEC wishes him well. As a Member State of CUSEC, Director Long will serve as a voting member of the CUSEC Board of Directors. Visit http://ema.alabama.gov to read more about Albabma EMA.
