This includes the oversight of approximately $4.5 million in budget for personnel, systems, and contracts as well as the administrative and executive oversight of a 24/7 emergency communications center and 50 contracted security guards.

This position served as the community contact and representative to citizens, community groups, businesses, faith-based organizations, non-profit organizations, and other governmental agencies to facilitate the improvement of emergency management activities and general community preparedness. Specifically, I maintained program responsibilities related to public education, community planning, resource coordination, public information, media management, management of multiple grant funds, and the administration of all internal and external training and exercise opportunities. This required planning, preparedness, training, exercises, and presentations on a variety of emergency management topics related to preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation to community groups of all sizes, demographics, perspectives, and philosophies. I also serve as a 24/7 on-call, deployable duty officer with responsibilities to support localized emergency preparedness, response, and recovery as well as support for other neighboring jurisdictions requesting support and mutual aid. This included numerous localized emergencies and disasters including severe weather, flooding, hazardous materials, fires, ice storms, blizzards, and continuity of operations.
