Augmentable tasks

Work where AI assists rather than replaces — the productivity frontier of this role.

  • Maintain and update all resource materials associated with emergency preparedness plans.55
  • Prepare emergency situation status reports that describe response and recovery efforts, needs, and preliminary damage assessments.50
  • Keep informed of federal, state, and local regulations affecting emergency plans, and ensure that plans adhere to those regulations.50

Most durable tasks

Lowest exposure — typically judgment, relationships, physical presence, or accountability. This is the human moat.

  • Coordinate disaster response or crisis management activities, such as ordering evacuations, opening public shelters, and implementing special needs plans and programs.15
  • Inspect facilities and equipment, such as emergency management centers and communications equipment, to determine their operational and functional capabilities in emergency situations.20
  • Attend meetings, conferences, and workshops related to emergency management to learn new information and to develop working relationships with other emergency management specialists.25

What this means

A score of 39 puts Emergency Management Directors in the third quartile of analyzed occupations. In practice, exposure this high is about the mix: 0 of 20 analyzed tasks lean automatable, 14 augmentable, and 6 durable. The useful question isn’t “will AI take this job” — it’s which tasks go first, which get faster, and where to reposition time. That’s what the personalized report maps against your actual week.

Lower-exposure adjacent roles

Shown only when the target is at least 10 points lower under the same score version and skill overlap is at least 50%. These are adjacent roles with lower task exposure — not guaranteed “safe careers”.

How this score was calculated

The score is the plain average of the AI-exposure values of this role’s 20 analyzed tasks (equal task weights in this release — no hidden factors):

  • Augmentable 14 tasks, averaging 45/100 exposure
  • Durable 6 tasks, averaging 25/100 exposure

score = (14×45 + 6×25) ÷ 20 ≈ 39

Every task’s exposure value was scored against a published anchored rubric that scores tasks as actually performed — physical, in-person, and accountability requirements included (data release 2026.07.12-r2). The band (High) is a corpus quartile; the percentile is tie-aware across all 968 occupations.
