Emergency Planning Officer

Emergency Planning Officers play a vital role in preparing organisations and communities for emergencies such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and major accidents. Their work involves developing and testing emergency response plans, running training exercises, and ensuring that staff and the public know what to do if an incident occurs. Officers also work with other agencies, such as the police, fire services, and health services, to coordinate effective responses and improve overall resilience. The job can involve both office-based planning and fieldwork during real emergencies, requiring strong communication and problem-solving skills.
