A couple of weeks after announcing his retirement from Gov. Roy Cooper’s Cabinet, Erik Hooks is in line for a top federal emergency management post.
President Biden nominated Hooks Tuesday to serve as deputy administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. That’s FEMA’s No. 2 job. It requires Senate confirmation.
Hooks announced earlier this month that he would retire Aug. 1 from his state job as secretary of the Department of Public Safety. Hooks also had served as the state’s homeland security adviser.
