Careers

Emergency Management is the profession of individuals who focus on helping communities prior to, during, and following natural and manmade disasters to minimize risk and vulnerability. Emergency Managers plan and direct disaster response or crisis management activities, provide disaster preparedness training, and prepare emergency plans and procedures for natural (tornadoes, floods) and manmade (technological, terrorism) disasters, as well as public health epidemics. Our program meets the demand for professionals at the federal, state, and local levels, and the business community.

Emergency Managers can work in many different industries including federal, state, county, and city governments, educational institutions, hospitals and public health agencies, nonprofits and community/international relief organizations, private industry, transportation, the military, and many others.
