• You are the lead emergency response coordinator and take action when necessary.

• You always think ahead and keep track of inventory and orders for necessary materials and products.
• You will coordinate (maintenance) work and perform (light) administrative tasks.
• You will ensure that tables, chairs, and equipment are set up for meetings and gatherings.
