My formal position is "Emergency Preparedness Coordinator". Fancy title for the guy who writes all the plans that we hope to never use.

Let me tell you that this can be a highly frustrating job as well as highly rewarding. The frustration comes from giving the public the knowledge to make all the right decisions on preparations along with the justification for doing so only to have them give you that "deer in the headlights" look and say, "Aw shucks, nothin' like that is ever gonna happen here..."

The rewarding part is when you know someone who took your advice and through circumstances beyond their control came out okay because they had the supplies, or the know-how to get through it.

As far as monetary reward? Skip over to the private sector because us poor non-corrupt public officials don't make as much as the tax payers seem to think we do.
