What will I do in this position if hired?


In this position, you will serve as an Emergency Management Specialist (Mitigation) in the Planning & Implementation Branch, Mitigation Division supporting the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) Direct Technical Assistance (DTA).


Typical assignments include:


Providing tailored support to communities and tribal nations to enhance their capability and capacity to design holistic, equitable hazard mitigation solutions that advance resilient communities.

Coordinating with a range of subject matter experts, including community planners, grants specialists, and engineers to both identify local needs and support interdisciplinary delivery of community and tribal technical assistance to meet locally identified needs.

Assisting subject matter experts and the program lead in the delivery of assistance using project management principles to manage a large case load.

Analyzing community capability and capacity needs and targeting technical assistance to those areas of need.

Representing the FEMA Mitigation Division by speaking at public outreach events, attending partner meetings, and coordinating internally and externally on topics of cross-cutting interest.

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.

This position has promotion potential to the IC12.

Promotions are dependent on your ability to perform the duties at a higher level, successful performance review displaying at least one year of experience at the lower grade, the continuing need for an employee assigned to the higher level, and management 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.
