Emergency Management Director Klickitat County, Washington

You have to go where the jobs are.

One bit of advice I give aspiring emergency managers is that they have to go where the jobs are.  If you are hanging around waiting for one person to retire -- it is not a good strategy.  On the other hand, if you are single and looking for work in this profession you have to be willing to relocate to where the jobs are.

 

One such position is the Klickitat County Emergency Management Director  No Klickitat County is not a metropolis, basically a rural county that borders the Columbia River.  When I worked for Washington State Emergency Management Division I recall the summer fire season as being an active one with many grass fires in the area created by passing trains.  

 

Thies look like an interesting position to me.  A new facility and staff to work with and plenty of hazards to consider and plan for.  Lots of sun and wind in those parts!  don't let the salary scare you away.  I'm sure the cost of living is about right for the pay they are offering.
