<snip>
Long's appointment was welcomed by experts on extreme weather, who praised him as neither overtly ideological nor hostile to the mission of the agency he was chosen to lead. Before being appointed to the top job, he was director of Alabama's Emergency Management Agency from 2008 to 2011, as well as a regional hurricane program manager for FEMA.
"He is a rare Trump appointee who is a well-known professional in the field in which he was appointed," said Eli Lehrer, president of the R Street Institute, a Washington research group that promotes market-based solutions to climate change. "Every part of his reputation suggests hell take a careful, deliberate, technocratic approach to the job."
