Emergency management coordinator

Emergency management coordinators help communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. The work involves developing plans, running drills, building relationships with response partners, and during incidents coordinating agencies, resources, and communication to keep the response organised.

They work for local governments and agencies. The role suits calm, organised people who can plan for worst-case scenarios, build the partnerships that response depends on, and think clearly under pressure when disasters strike and many agencies must work together quickly and effectively.
