Chicago, United States Federal Emergency Management Agency Full time

What will I do in this position if hired?

In this position, you will collaborate as the Watch Analyst for Region Five/ Response Division performing research, conducting analysis, and providing advice on complex emergency management issues. Specifically, supporting FEMA's all-hazard mission by conducting the following duties:

Preparing input for the Daily Situational Awareness Report (DSAR) and other Watch reports and assisting the Senior Watch Officer and Watch Officer in analyzing current trends, state-of-threat, and cutting-edge technology in order to develop or improve Watch programs.
Clarifying problems and identifying appropriate and suitable problem-solving tools, techniques and applications.
Incorporating maps and other analytical products into standard and special projects related to response operations.
Performing analysis to assess the magnitude of an incident or potential incident to include analyzing initial impact and the resources available for response.

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.

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. To learn about FEMA's ongoing diversity and inclusion efforts, reasonable accommodation process, and the FEMA Core Values, please visit www.fema.gov.

Promotion Potential: Future promotions will be dependent on your ability to perform the duties at a higher level, the continuing need for an employee assigned to the higher level, and administrative approval.
