WTFem believes the emergency management industry – and the related industries of public works, waste management, and first responders – benefit from increased diversity in order to fully achieve the industry objectives of building resiliency and of effective, efficient and equitable planning, response and recovery. We also believe that many women still do not have exposure to or information about the strong, financially stable, and fulfilling careers in emergency management and the related fields.
