Handling an incident, severe weather event, or other disaster doesn't start when first responders arrive or leave. It begins with preparation ahead of time. And it ends weeks, months -- sometimes years – later when a community or organization has been restored.
That's where people skilled in emergency management step in. Every organization, every community needs people who know what to do – before, during, and after first responders leave.
Work in this highly rewarding field can take many directions:
- From front-line positions to behind-the-scenes personnel
- In specialties such as accounting, community relations, criminal justice, emergency planning, grants management, supply chain management, communications, and more
- Responsible for tasks such as
- Overseeing emergency planning and training programs.
- Coordinating disaster response and recovery efforts.
- Being involved in community relations activities.
- Administering community grant programs.
- Engaging various sectors of the community.
- Providing public information and warning to the community.
