The Bureau of Emergency Management is seeking applications for

two EMS/Trauma System positions (see below). I have requested a

short initial posting (10 days), because we very much need these

positions. However, if we do not get enough potential candidates, I

will extend the postings. It would be helpful if any of you who

decide to apply for one or both of the positions to send me an email

or give me a call to let me know you are doing so.

Please read the job descriptions carefully, including the " Knowledge,

Skills, and Abilities " needed; the " Screening " criteria; and " Special

application instructions/timelines carefully. Call anytime if you

would like to discuss the positions or if you need assistance
