If you ask an emergency manager what they do, the answer will probably depend on the day.

One day might be spent updating emergency plans. Another might involve coordinating with community partners, leading an exercise, supporting a special event, reviewing grant applications, or helping an organization prepare for a new risk.

The profession is always changing, requiring emergency managers to adapt, coordinate, and solve problems in a wide range of situations. No two days look the same because every community and organization is different.

What's one responsibility of your job that most people would never expect? Let us know in the comments to help others better understand the profession.
