That year, President Clinton appointed him as Associate Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency where he led efforts to develop a national strategy to mitigate the damage caused by natural disasters. Senator Moore returned to the State House in 1996, winning a special election to fill the vacated Worcester and Norfolk Senate seat.
