Atlanta, United States Federal Emergency Management Agency Full time

What will I do in this position if hired?

In this position, you will serve as an Emergency Management Specialist (Recovery) with Region Four.

Typical assignments include:

Developing and implementing sheltering and housing emergency management standards, regulations, practices, training, and procedures to recover from hazards, threats, and crises; assure that assessments adequately determine needed and available resources (e.g., technical expertise, equipment, and infrastructure) and capacities.
Supporting emergency recovery activities, including all facets of housing, including Individual Assistance Programs, Mitigation, Logistics, and Contracting, to ensure the timely provision of shelter and housing resources to eligible disaster survivors.
Facilitating complex and unprecedented aspects of housing programs and coordinating with stakeholders during both disaster and non-disaster times, prior to Joint Field Office (JFO) operations, during Joint Field Office (JFO) operations in collaboration with designated Federal Coordinating Officers (FCO), and during post-JFO operations, including closeout functions. This program includes supporting State, Territorial, and Tribal Government (STT) housing task forces; developing plans, training, and exercises; coordinating across federal programs; responding to disasters that require Shelter and Housing Task Force (SHTF); and capturing lessons learned and best practices.
Developing plans to ensure the capability to continue essential functions during all hazardous events.

What else do I need to know?

At FEMA, our mission is to help people before, during and after disasters, and every employee at FEMA has a role in emergency management. Every FEMA employee has regular and recurring emergency management responsibilities, though not every position requires routine deployment to disaster sites. All positions are subject to recall around the clock for emergency management operations, which may require irregular work hours, work at locations other than the official duty station, and may include duties other than those specified in the employee's official position description. Travel requirements in support of emergency operations may be extensive in nature (weeks to months), with little advance notice, and may require employees to relocate to emergency sites with physically austere and operationally challenging conditions.

This announcement is for a position as a CORE (Cadre of On-Call Response/Recovery Employee). CORE employees are full-time employees hired to directly support the response and recovery efforts related to disasters. Employees are hired under the Robert T. Stafford Act and are excluded from the provisions of title 5, United States Code, governing jobs in the competitive service. They can be hired under a streamlined process instead of a competitive process. After three years of continuous service, Stafford Act employees may be granted competitive eligibility to apply for permanent full-time positions at FEMA.

This position will be hired into a temporary 4-year, excepted service appointment. Appointments may be renewed based on workload, funding, and supervisory approval.

FEMA is committed to ensuring that its workforce reflects the diversity of the nation. At FEMA, our workforce includes the many identities, races, ethnicities, backgrounds, abilities, ages, cultures, and beliefs of the people we serve.
