Management is by function and by law a cooperative effort
on the part of all levels of government and the private sector.
At the local level, Emergency Management is concerned with
the protection and education of the public from the hazards
and risks that affect them. The credibility of the program
resides in the credibility of the program advocate. The Emergency
Manager should exemplify the utility of the emergency management
program.
The job of the Emergency manager is defined by law. It does
however, have a moral basis. The emergency manager must balance
the duties authorized and required by law with the moral obligation
of the public employee to do everything possible to protect

Emergency Management expresses a strong commitment to provide
interagency cooperation and coordination of activities relating
to mitigation of, prevention of, preparedness for, response
to, and recovery from disasters and emergencies.
