How do I get started in the Emergency Management field?

I am a current undergraduate at North Dakota State University, living in Hillsboro, OR. I am studying emergency management and biological sciences, and am currently involved with the red cross as a recovery specialist and emergency management government liaison. I am incredibly interested in disaster relief as well as tsunami disaster mitigation and preparation. I have 4 1/2 years of experience working in healthcare, 1 year was in the ER, and I am always looking for opportunities to gain more experience in health and EMGT/DMGT. Is there anyone who can provide some insight into how they got their position? What do you look for in an intern/future colleague? Anyone know anything about tsunami research? #disasterrelief #internship #emergencymanagement #healthcare #disastermanagement #tsunami #research
