Emergency Services Management
Associate in Applied Science (AAS)Supervisors who work in emergency services rarely know when crisis will strike, which is why it’s so important that they adequately prepare and use quick thinking to maintain control in a crisis. Emergency services managers are crucial to the well-being of our communities, working diligently to ensure our safety and protect us from threats while maintaining relationships in the community and working alongside human resources.
A Closer Look
Emergency services managers take command during a crisis, using best practices to safeguard public safety while working directly with law enforcement, fire department, and emergency medical services. They analyze the situation and implement protocol in response to disasters, such as fires, tornados, flooding, terror, and earthquakes. They are managers that supervise training, develop ways to reduce excessive damage, and navigate legal pitfalls.
Emergency services managers are natural-born leaders with superior communication skills. They know how to delegate work and work well with others while maintaining a level head in an unpredictable work environment.
