The Emergency Management Coordinator coordinates the preparation and implementation of the City’s Emergency Management Plan and Emergency Operational Plan updates and related procedures, which involves directly working with the City’s Emergency Manager, Maricopa County Department of Emergency Management (MCDEM), and the State of Arizona Division of Emergency Management (DEMA) for plan direction and coordinating with other City departments to support the development and implementation of their specific plan and procedures; the administrative functions for emergency management related training and drills; the administrative functions of the City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC); Tactical Operations Center (TOC); and the Emergency Response Notification system. The Emergency Management Coordinator also represents the department and the City in various local and state committees and assists the Mesa Fire and Medical Department (MFMD) Emergency Management Fire Captain with the coordination of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) of volunteers. This position may research, analyze, and coordinate emergency management grants and programs which enhance the City’s capabilities to better plan and prepare for emergencies and disaster mitigation. This class performs related duties as required.

The Emergency Management Coordinator is a civilian class supervised by a Police Sergeant who reviews the Coordinator’s work through periodic conferences and results achieved. The Police Sergeant serves as an emergency response subject matter expert and coordinates the technical/tactical response efforts for the emergency management efforts. The Coordinator also supports the City’s Emergency Manager. The coordination of the Emergency Management and Operational Plans and the EOC administration are responsibilities shared with a Police Sergeant who primarily focuses on coordinating efforts related to the Police Department. The Emergency Management Coordinator also coordinates these functions for the Police Department and the other City departments, including the City Manager’s Office and City Council. The Emergency Management Coordinator actively participates in local and state committees and meetings but stops short of committing specific resources without the approval of the Police Sergeant or the City’s Emergency Manager. The Emergency Management Coordinator is required to work before, during, and after emergency incidents, and may be required to work evenings, weekends, holidays, and in inclement weather conditions during these incidents. Work schedules and locations are also subject to change. This class is FLSA exempt-administrative.
