One that works for a city, what would their job involve?
The job title is pretty detailed - an emergency preparedness coordinator is responsible for planning for an emergency. How will the city handle a crisis? For example, a major rainstorm that results in widespread flooding, blocking roads and taking down power lines; or an earthquake, or a terrorist attack. How will the various city departments coordinate their efforts to recover during an emergency and help the residents of the city? The coordinator may be the person responsible for drafting strategic plans and ensuring the city departments are trained and knowledgable of those plans. The person may also coordinate drills or practice sessions when the emergency plan is put to the test.
