The basic objectives of the County’s emergency management programs are to assist the County of Maui to prepare for, mitigate against, respond to, and recover from emergency disasters within the County of Maui. Classes in the Emergency Management Specialist series are distinguished by their responsibilities for the preparation and planning for natural and human-caused incidents, emergencies, and disasters, and/or the continuity or operational requirements to be implemented before, during, and after emergencies and disasters.

The Emergency Management Specialist III class is an independent specialist position within the Emergency Management Specialist series and is distinguished by the responsibility of independently performing a wide range of emergency management duties of moderate complexity while receiving only limited training in the fundamental concepts, principles, techniques, procedures, and work processes of emergency management; whereas, the Emergency Management Specialist II class is the advanced trainee class, distinguished by the responsibility of receiving continued formal and on-the-job training performing emergency management work assignments involving the application of clearly defined principles, methods and techniques under specific guidance in support of the County of Maui’s emergency management programs.
