Work asking me to do something outside of my remit

I lead a PR team for a UK theme park. Currently emergency services liaison is handled by the operations team however they want to change it so it’s handled by me and my time. Aibu to think this is not on? And that if they want to add it to our remit then we need more resources? I’ve been here 15 years and liaising with the emergency services has always been the job of the operations team not my PR team

When staff leave (as they’re so demotivated and stressed where I work) they don’t get replaced, higher management always looking to make cuts and divide their workload out amongst the staff, but there is always someone gets the shi**y end of the stick and gets more than anyone. I can’t wait to retire 🥲
wenhave lost six from our team over last 18 months and absolutely not one has been replaced
salaries are always an easy way to make savings

Not something I'd expect PR to do.
Do you know what to do if there's a major emergency, have you the operational, HS, and leadership experience to deal with such a challenge.
That's crazy, that would be difficult for an experienced professional in those areas.

That's exactly what I expect PR to do - leaving Ops to concentrate upon wrangling the velociraptors off the roofs of the catering units whilst PR talk to the media saying 'oh, of course there isn't a serious issue, it's just that everybody needs to stay in their vehicles due to a teeny little baby bronto taking herself off for an adventure'.
