Not Just a Job...A Profession

Emergency Management has grown from the days of civil defense.  In the old days in Wyoming, "emergency manager" was simply a part time job where plans would occasionally be updated and shelters opened for major snow storms.  Now, Emergency Management is a full-time profession.  Today's Wyoming Emergency Manager is responsible for planning, communications, mass notification and warning, accommodating special needs populations, managing an EOC, coordinating between multiple levels of government, and much more.

​

Emergency Managers are not just found in Wyoming County government anymore, either. They are also found in Public Health departments, hospitals, Non-Governmental Organizations, municipalities, public works, and private business.
