About the Role
This role serves as a critical bridge between autonomous vehicle (AV) operations and the municipal emergency management community. Success in this position strengthens partnerships, enhances public safety outcomes, and reduces risk during emergency and event interactions. As a Public Safety Liaison, you will foster trust and collaboration between corporations, emergency management, and public safety agencies through proactive and reactive engagement, training, and emergency management efforts.
An effective Public Safety Liaison will enhance preparedness and improve coordination across multiple organizations, including local emergency management, traffic management authorities, and airports. The role works closely with and in parallel to the Crisis24 First Responder Ambassador Team, who lead relationships with Law Enforcement and Fire/EMS agencies. During disasters or large special events, you will work directly with local jurisdiction’s emergency management functions to facilitate information exchange, operational decontamination coordination, resource coordination, and public messaging synchronization.
