The Department of Health and Human Services is looking to veterans from the Hurricane Katrina cleanup to help with coronavirus supply chain issues for the federal government, according to contracting records.
HHS's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness this week hired J&M Global Solutions, a small Virginia-based consulting firm run by Bush-era Federal Emergency Management Agency alumni Michelle McQueeney McIntire and Gil Jamieson.
'I'm very, very worried': Laid-off workers struggle with no social safety netMcIntire and Jamieson previously had been top officials in FEMA's Gulf Coast recovery efforts after the 2005 hurricanes. Jamieson was the highest-ranking FEMA official in the Gulf from 2006 to 2008, stepping into the position after the agency's initially bungled response to the natural disaster. McIntire was chief of staff for the Gulf Coast recovery effort.
