If you desire a rewarding and challenging position in emergency management, where you can make a difference by using your experience and abilities then this is the position for you.

The Inland Region consists of primarily rural jurisdictions with a few large metropolitan cities. The geography for the Inland Region is vast and varied with terrain consisting of valley floor agricultural centers, grasslands, watershed areas, high desert regions, foothill regions and high elevation mountain ranges.

The Inland Administrative Region is comprised of three operational sections that collectively support Mutual Aid Regions III, IV, and V, covering 31 counties and 123 cities and serving a population of approximately 7.2 million residents.

The primary headquarters for this position is Sacramento County with the anticipated geographic area assigned being Mutual Aid Region III.

We are seeking a highly motivated Emergency Services Coordinator (ESC) to serve as the interface between state and local government partners. This position plays a critical role in strengthening emergency management capabilities across the state by providing guidance, coordination, and support before, during, and after disasters.

During complex, high-impact emergencies—such as wildfires, floods, or earthquakes—staff work alongside local emergency managers to coordinate state resources and share critical information with emergency operations centers across all levels of SEMS. Staff help identify resource gaps, analyze operational challenges, and support solutions that minimize impacts to life, property, and the environment.

During non-emergency periods, staff collaborate with counties and cities to strengthen preparedness. This includes reviewing emergency operations plans, supporting training and exercises, and updating policies and procedures based on lessons learned from After Action Reports.

Regional staff also help maintain the integrity of the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) by coordinating quarterly Mutual Aid Regional Advisory Committee (MARAC) meetings. These meetings bring together emergency management partners—such as local and county emergency managers, fire, law enforcement, communications, and other local partners—to discuss regulatory changes, system improvements, emerging technologies, funding opportunities, and overall regional readiness.

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced and dynamic environment, demonstrates strong independence and leadership, and is committed to supporting communities during emergencies.

• Serve as the primary interface between state and local governments on emergency management initiatives.
• Provide advisory support and coordination to local and tribal governments, regional staff, and state agencies.

• Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and internal deadlines.
• Communicate effectively with stakeholders through written reports, briefings, and presentations.
