What will I do in this position if hired?


In this Supervisory Emergency Management Specialist (Recovery) position, you will oversee staff who perform substantive mission-oriented work in a FEMA Long Term Recovery Office (LTRO) and serving as a senior level advisor to LTRO and Regional recovery staff and leadership concerning policy issues dealing with assisting individuals and/or communities by providing disaster support and delivering disaster assistance.


Typical assignments include:


Supporting emergency recovery activities focused on Individual Assistance Programs to ensure the timely provision of life-sustaining services and resources to evacuees and disaster survivors.

Executing the most complex and unprecedented aspects of Individual Assistance programs and coordination with stakeholders in advance of transition of Joint Field Office (JFO) operations to LTRO, in cooperation with designated Federal Coordinating Officers and LTRO Director, and during post-JFO operations including closeout functions.

Coordinating with other Federal agencies, FEMA regional staffs, and State government agencies to ensure the capability to continue essential functions during any event or incident.

Developing and issuing recovery plans, procedures, and risk assessments with voluntary organization partners to fulfill requests in a timely and effective manner.

Evaluating plans and guidance for compliance with established emergency management directives, overarching policies, and enabling legislation.

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.

Appointments to CORE positions are typically between two years and four years in duration and may be renewed based upon workload needs and funding availability.

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.

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.
