On Thursday, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced the appointment of Matthew Bettenhausen as secretary of the California Emergency Management Agency.

Bettenhausen has served as acting secretary of California Emergency Management Agency since its conception, a result of the merging of the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and the Office of Emergency Services into a single, cabinet-level agency in 2009, and previously served as the director of the Office of Homeland Security from 2005 to 2008. Prior to that, he served as the director of state and territorial coordination for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security from 2003 to 2005, and deputy governor for criminal justice and public safety and special counsel to the governor of Illinois from 2000 to 2003.
