ABOUT JAMYE WISECUP
Jamye was the heart and soul of emergency management in her community and made an impact on many people’s lives. In addition to her work with emergency management at Clallam County Sheriff’s Office, Jamye served on numerous local non-profit boards and was known as very active in helping spread awareness and involvement in emergency management and disaster preparedness. Her dedication to promote emergency preparedness and her genuine unconditional caring for everyone made her an exceptional woman.

Her efforts to provide her community and others with the knowledge, skills, and abilities in areas of all-hazards emergency management resulted in seven (7) Community and Technical Colleges around the state offering the Homeland Security Emergency Management (HSEM) Certificate and Associate’s Degree Program through the Collaborating College model. She also participated in the Bachelor of Applied Science – HSEM workgroup, one of the first HSEM Bachelor Degree Programs in Washington. In 2014, The Center of Excellence – Homeland Security
Emergency Management welcomed Jayme Wisecup to its Advisory Board. As a Board member, Jamye supported and assisted in strengthening the Center’s presence, both online and in person.
