Geralyn Ryan’s Expertise Currently, the Outreach and Preparedness Lead for the Office of Emergency Management at the U.S. Department of State. I oversee development of outreach materials, digital communications, webinars, and site visits aimed at educating domestically based employees on current and emerging threats. When I was six years old, I wanted to be an astronaut, but when I was introduced to trigonometry at the age of sixteen, I decided to revise my plans. I still love the space program and worked as a communicator at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex for four years. In the fall of 2005, deeply moved by the suffering experienced by people on the Gulf Coast in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, I took a leave of absence to work for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). I later joined FEMA and was part of the federal response to tornadoes in Arkansas, floods in Texas, wildfires in California, earthquakes in Puerto Rico and multiple hurricanes. I went on to serve as the lead communications advisor to the Office of Response and Recovery at FEMA Headquarters during COVID-19 and the two busiest hurricane seasons on record. Over 25 years as a public affairs professional, I have mastered the ability to explain complex information to a wide variety of audiences in an understandable and meaningful manner. I can do that verbally, visually and in writing. My other skills include: • Collaborative problem-solving • Public education • Strategic communications • Community outreach • Building and facilitating interdisciplinary teams I have a bachelor’s degree from the University of California at Berkeley; master’s from Tulane University.
