This position will support the development of plans, training programs, and exercises for clients at the local, state, and federal level, as well as private sector and non-governmental organizations. This will include the development of both “all hazards” emergency operations plans and continuity of operations plans. Work includes research and analysis of plans, procedures, and policies in the emergency management field, as well as the review of after action reports from exercise and incidents. The position will develop and conduct stakeholder outreach to include surveys and interviews.
