Deputy Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC) is an excellent opportunity for a skilled leader with a background in public safety to give back to their community.
The EMC is responsible for overseeing planning, training, and preparation during non-disaster times, and to act as the coordinator in the Emergency Operations Center during times of disaster. The EMC is the primary agent for the municipality’s elected officials and is invaluable when disaster strikes. Experience in public safety and/or law enforcement, including fire, ambulance/EMT, or police, is required. The selected EMC shall be professionally competent and capable of planning and effecting coordination among different government agencies. The selected EMC shall also be required to complete the in-service training requirements for the position, as mandated by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency.
Both the deputy and regular EMC are volunteer positions. While the EMC is expected to work throughout declared states of emergency, the work commitment during periods of non-emergencies is generally limited to coordinating with the County Department of Emergency Services and updating the Township’s Emergency Operations Plan from time to time, completing required training, and serving as a resource for Township elected officials and senior staff, as requested.
There is no residency requirement for this position, although a strong familiarity with Westtown is required.
