 JOSEPH F. BRUNO

Director, New York City Office of Emergency Management

On March 2004, Joseph F. Bruno was appointed Commissioner of the New York City
Office of Emergency Management.

Commissioner Bruno's distinguished career in public service began in 1971, when he

joined the City Law Department as a trial attorney. He served in various Law Department
posts, including Chief of the General Litigation, Consumer Protection, and Tort
Divisions, until 1983.

In 1983, he went to the Fire Department, where he served as its First Deputy
Commissioner. After a stint with the City's Parking Violations Bureau, which Bruno
successfully resurrected from scandal, Bruno returned to the Fire Department in 1987 to
serve as its Commissioner. Under Bruno's leadership, the Fire Department developed a
major fire safety education campaign for New Yorkers, with particular emphasis on
children and senior citizens.

After a year in the private sector at Urbitran Associates, Bruno was elected in 1991 to the
Civil Court of the City of New York and assigned to the Criminal Court. As a trial judge
in the Criminal Court, he conducted a significant number of jury trials.

In 1996, Bruno was elevated to Acting Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New
York, Kings County, where he conducted jury trials in both the criminal and civil areas.
In the criminal term, he tried cases involving indictments for felony offenses, including
homicide, manslaughter, assaults, domestic violence allegations, robbery and other
felonies. In the civil term, he handled matters relating to negligence or tort claims,
presided over numerous civil settlements, and tried many cases.

Bruno was re-elected to the Civil Court in 2001 and elected as a Justice of the Supreme
Court in 2002. While serving as a Supreme Court Justice, Bruno acted as chair and
representative of the Administrative Justice of Kings County on a variety of committees
and projects including the City Civil Project, which was designed to implement a new
approach to New York City's growing negligence caseload.

On March 4, 2004, in a City Hall ceremony, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg named Bruno
Commissioner of the New York City Office of Emergency Management. He is the fourth
commissioner to hold the position since the Office of Emergency Management was
established in 1996.

Commissioner Bruno graduated from City College in 1966 with a B.S. in Economics and
earned a J.D. in Law from St. John's Law School in 1968. In 1986, he received the Public
Service Award from the Fund for the City of New York. In 1988, he was also awarded an
honorary Doctor of Law degree from St. John's Law School.
