Through York College, Warrington secured internships with the Delaware River Port Authority and the New Jersey Office of Counterterrorism. “Those internships framed my mindset of where I wanted to go and the people I wanted to surround myself with,” Warrington says. “Emergency management was interesting because you’re engaged at different levels of community and government. In the end, emergencies always start and end at the local level. That’s where you build a community approach and help people who really need it.” Emergency management was in its infancy when Warrington was in college. Having access to internships in the field separated York College from other institutions. [...] Before joining FEMA, Warrington spent more than a decade with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. He led the advancement of next-generation technology against chemical, biological, and radiological attacks. In 2019, he oversaw the review of and updates to all Port Authority emergency operation plans. Even with that experience, his position with FEMA has left him in awe of the scale of recovery efforts in his region. [...] “It was shock and awe,” says Warrington, who grew up in suburban New Jersey. “There was a lot unfolding. People on campus heard about it, classes started getting delayed and canceled. I remember feeling helpless.” Warrington entered York College with the goal of becoming a police officer. His Orientations of Criminal Justice class and the events of 9/11 changed his plans. “The College brought in speakers from all walks of life to talk about their careers,” Warrington says. “At that point, emergency management and infrastructure protection were new concepts. That class birthed my knowledge of emergency management.” ## Taking the lead
