Course Overview

“The job market for emergency managers is expanding at a healthy rate. The field is emerging as an autonomous profession and offers the promise of increased identity, prestige, and monetary benefits to students who obtain degrees in the field.”

The job market for emergency management was already expanding quickly. The movement of populations into the “Sunshine States” and risk-prone areas–coastlines, floodplains, and forests made natural events such as hurricanes, wildfires, and tornadoes far more threatening and challenging to communities and businesses. After September 11, terrorism, including biological and chemical, became a crucial and inextricable part of emergency management.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), emergency management is one of the fastest-growing career fields, with directors/specialist positions among the top.
