The position entails mandated reviews of Comprehensive Emergency Management Plans (CEMP) for healthcare facilities, including detailed Emergency Environmental Control (generator) plans for nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Responsibilities include detailed reviews, strong writing and reporting skills, data analysis, and tracking the current status and deficiencies of the overall CEMP program plan submissions. The role also requires providing customer service support for assigned program areas, conducting presentations, trainings, and workshops for new facility administrators and other stakeholders, and coordinating with ETS staff for enhancements to the CEMP electronic portal for plan submission and reviews. Additionally, the position may involve reviewing, updating, and developing other Emergency Management plans such as Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), policies, procedures, checklists, guides, and other hazard-specific plans. Work on projects assigned in the Operations Section, including components for operational readiness, may be required. The role is subject to recall during disasters and other emergencies, and may involve weekend, holiday, and shift work during emergency and/or disaster situations. Strong written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills with the demonstrated ability to effectively communicate with a diverse range of stakeholders are essential.
