Emergency Management Coordinator

The Emergency Management Coordinator helps protect Pharr by strengthening how the City prepares for, responds to, and recovers from emergencies. This role exists to turn planning into readiness—so critical services can continue when conditions change fast.

Key responsibilities include coordinating emergency management planning and program administration; supporting NIMS/ICS-aligned readiness efforts; partnering across departments and external stakeholders to align resources and procedures; and helping maintain compliance with applicable laws, regulations, executive orders, and agency rules.

Required knowledge and skills include:

• All-hazards planning, EOC operations, continuity of operations, public warning/notification, disaster recovery
• Training and exercise evaluation concepts
• Project management, interdepartmental coordination, and organizational planning
• Ability to interpret and apply relevant legal codes, government regulations, and policies

You’ll start by connecting with City departments to gauge preparedness, surface gaps in current procedures, and track progress on corrective actions. Throughout the week you’ll guide the development, review, and rollout of departmental response and continuity plans that keep essential operations moving during disruptions. You’ll also build and coordinate an annual training and exercise calendar—evacuation drills, tabletop scenarios, and simulations—then document outcomes, capture lessons learned, and follow through until improvements are completed.

When severe weather or an incident occurs, your schedule shifts quickly to meet the moment, including evenings, weekends, holidays, extended shifts, and on-call coverage as needed.

You’ll have access to a benefits package designed to support your health, time, and long-term stability:

• Medical coverage
• Dental coverage
• Vision coverage
• Paid Time Off
• Retirement plan
