莫斯科维茨在这个职位上已经呆了两年，他说他想花更多的时间和他的妻子以及两个7岁和4岁的小男孩在一起。
“担任公职15年，是时候按暂停键和家人在一起了，”他周一在推特上说。“我会回来的。”
莫斯科维茨引用了致命校园枪击案三周年纪念在他的家乡佛罗里达州的帕克兰，以及他的职位冠状病毒大流行，说他被提醒“明天是不保证的。”
州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯在周一的新闻发布会上承认了莫斯科维茨的辞职。他引用了导演从塔拉哈西到布劳沃德县的通勤路程，两地相距400英里。
德桑蒂斯说:“已经过去两年了，他工作非常努力，从某些方面来说，他的家人几乎是天各一方。”。
“我认为佛罗里达有全国最好的应急响应，”他补充道。“我认为贾里德是一个很大的原因。”

周一，州长提出了在他的未来担任联邦职务的可能性。“他们真的应该让你成为联邦应急管理局局长，也许有一天他们会这么做，”德桑蒂斯说。

佛罗里达州官员对莫斯科维茨辞职的消息作出反应，众议员卡洛斯·史密斯（小鸟）鸣叫他是一个“不可思议的领导人，在COVID期间，他可以说比(佛罗里达州)任何一个政府官员都承担了更多的责任和牺牲，并付出了巨大的个人代价。”
“他的公共服务将被怀念，但我们还没有看到他的最后一面，”他补充说。
前佛罗里达州众议院议长威尔·韦瑟福德说，发微博“我必须说，在我们州的危机时刻，我对他令人难以置信的领导能力并不感到惊讶！我很感谢他的服务，也很激动地看到这下一个人生篇章会给他和他的家人带来什么！”
莫斯科维茨是最近几周离开德桑蒂斯政府的最新一名高级官员，此前儿童和家庭部、商业和职业监管部以及州长办公厅主任宣布离职。
他也是参与新冠肺炎全国范围应对气候变化的众多官员之一大流行期间下台。从政治到压力的一切都被认为是促成因素，疾病控制和预防中心前代理主任理查德·贝瑟(Richard Besser)本月告诉美国广播公司新闻(ABC News)，全国公共卫生领导层出现了“前所未有的重大损失”。
纽约市卫生专员奥克里斯·巴伯博士和俄亥俄州卫生局长艾米·阿克顿博士等高级官员也在其中谁下台了在大流行期间。
Florida official latest to step down nationwide during COVID-19 response
A top official involved in Florida's COVID-19 response is leaving his post.
Jared Moskowitz, the director of Florida's Division of Emergency Management, will be stepping down next month, the department said.
Moskowitz, who had been in the position for two years, said he wanted to spend more time with his wife and two young boys, ages 7 and 4.
"With 15 years in public office, time to hit the pause button to be with my family," he said on Twitter Monday. "I'll be back."
Moskowitz referenced the third anniversary of the deadly school shooting in his hometown of Parkland, Florida, as well as the coronavirus pandemic in his post, saying he is reminded that "tomorrow is not guaranteed."
Gov. Ron DeSantis acknowledged Moskowitz's resignation during a press briefing on Monday. He cited the director's taxing commute from Tallahassee to Broward County, which are 400 miles apart.
"It's been two years, he's worked extremely hard and his family's almost a world away, in some respects," DeSantis said.
"I think Florida has the best emergency response in the country," he added. "I think Jared was a big reason why."
Moskowitz will remain in his post through April 30 "to ensure a smooth transition," the Florida Division of Emergency Management said. Deputy Director of Emergency Management Kevin Guthrie will take his place, DeSantis confirmed.
Moskowitz has not said what he plans to do next. He previously served as a Democratic member of the Florida House of Representatives from 2013 to 2019. He resigned to head the state's Division of Emergency Management after being appointed by DeSantis.
On Monday, the governor floated the possibility of a federal post in his future. "They should really make you FEMA director, and maybe they will do that someday," DeSantis said.
Moskowitz has overseen the state's response to Hurricane Dorian, Isaias, Laura and Sally, as well as COVID-19, including testing and the vaccine rollout. While DeSantis has not issued a statewide mask mandate, Moskowitz has been a strong advocate for facial coverings during the pandemic.
Florida officials reacted to news of Moskowitz's resignation, with Rep. Carlos Smith tweeting he is an "incredible leader who arguably took on and sacrificed more than any single government official in [Florida] during COVID and at great personal cost."
"His public service will be missed, but we haven't seen the last of him," he added.
Will Weatherford, former speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, tweeted, "I must say I have not been surprised by his incredible leadership during a time of crisis in our state! I am grateful for his service and excited to see what this next chapter of life will bring for him and his family!"
Moskowitz is the latest top official to leave the DeSantis administration in recent weeks, following the announced departures of the heads of the Department of Children and Families and Department of Business and Professional Regulation, as well as the governor's chief of staff.
He is also one of many officials involved in COVID-19 response nationwide to step down during the pandemic. Everything from politics to stress have been cited as contributing factors, with former acting Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Richard Besser telling ABC News this month there's been "a major, unprecedented loss in public health leadership across the nation."
Top officials like New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot and Ohio Health Director Dr. Amy Acton are among those who stepped down during the pandemic.
