俄克拉荷马州应急管理局长将离职:曾指挥应对龙卷风季与史无前例野火

俄克拉荷马城——俄克拉荷马州州长凯文·斯蒂特10月6日宣布,州应急管理局局长安妮·麦克·维斯特将于10月30日离职,返回私营部门。维斯特自2023年12月执掌该机构近三年。
在维斯特任内,俄克拉荷马州经历了多个龙卷风季以及2025年史无前例的野火——当年44个县报告了130多起火灾,近300栋房屋与建筑被毁。她还参与了州野火应对工作组,推动各机构与地方政府在火灾应急中的协作。
斯蒂特说,维斯特"重新定义了应急响应与灾害管理",精简了官僚程序,让灾民更快获得救助。接任的临时局长将是该局首席运营官约翰·迪恩,他自2022年起在州应急管理部门任职,曾在美国陆军特种部队服役20年。

Oklahoma Emergency Management Director to Depart After Leading Tornado and Wildfire Responses
OKLAHOMA CITY — Governor Kevin Stitt announced on October 6 that Oklahoma Emergency Management Director Annie Mack Vest will leave the agency on October 30 to return to the private sector. Vest has led the agency since December 2023.
Under Vest, Oklahoma weathered multiple tornado seasons and unprecedented 2025 wildfires — more than 130 fires reported in 44 counties, destroying nearly 300 houses and structures. She also served on the state's Wildland Fire Response Working Group, improving cooperation among agencies and local governments during fire emergencies.
"Annie redefined emergency response and disaster management," Stitt said, crediting her with cutting bureaucracy and streamlining relief for disaster victims. Interim director will be Chief Operations Officer John Dean, who has worked in state emergency management since 2022 and previously served 20 years in the U.S. Army Special Forces.
