From coronavirus to hurricanes, 2020 is forcing Broward County’s Jared Moskowitz to become the ‘master of disaster’

In December 2018, DeSantis selected Moskowitz to serve as emergency management director in his administration. Moskowitz took a sizable pay cut to take the $141,000-a-year emergency management job. Moskowitz was working as executive vice president and general counsel at AshBritt Environmental, a national disaster-recovery company. The Deerfield Beach-based business has contracts throughout the state to clean up hurricane debris.
