As an Emergency Preparedness and Security Coordinator, you will work closely with the department's management group, managers, and employees. You will drive and coordinate the emergency preparedness and security work, but also practically lead, implement, and evaluate efforts. This requires collaboration with both different actors within the region's own organization and external actors at local, regional, and national levels. In the role, you will be responsible for and practically lead the department's risk and vulnerability analysis (RSA) and security protection analyses (SSA). You will support divisions/units by practically leading continuity planning and be responsible for developing the department's crisis management plan and be able to serve as chief of staff when establishing a crisis team. Education is also an important part of the assignment, and you will educate managers, employees, and elected officials. Furthermore, you will be responsible for planning, implementing, and subsequently evaluating exercises with management groups, divisions, units, and employees. In the assignment, you participate as the department's representative in the region's preparedness network.
