Job description

CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES

Title: EMERGENCY SERVICES COORDINATOR I

Job Code: 8601

INTRODUCTION

Under immediate supervision, supports disaster and emergency planning work in the areas of homeland security and/or emergency services citywide.

Supports the planning, coordination and development of homeland security initiative and/or emergency service operations, plans, exercises and processes within a comprehensive emergency management program and responding to local disasters and emergencies.

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES

The Emergency Services Coordinator I is the entry-level in the professional Emergency Services Coordinator series. This class is distinguished from the Emergency Services Assistant in that the latter performs paraprofessional technical and administrative support and assistance in emergency planning. It is further distinguished from the Emergency Services Coordinator II class by the latter's responsibility for performing more complex emergency planning assignments. At this level, decisions are typically made in non-routine operations which require some exercising of judgment. Initially work is performed in accordance with established guidelines or procedures where few deviations from established practices are made without checking with the supervisor. With time and experience, this class will begin to exercise some judgment in selecting appropriate established guidelines to follow, where significant deviations require prior approval and interpretation of general administrative or operational policies is sometimes necessary. This class has regular contact with others at similar levels within the organization, or external peers, general public and customers for the purpose of providing or obtaining readily available, easily understood non-controversial information.
