What will I do in this position if hired?


In this Supervisory Emergency Management Specialist (Federal Coordinating Officer) position, you serve as a Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO) responsible for the coordination of federal assistance following the President's declaration of a major disaster or emergency.

An FCO serves as the lead federal official for designated disasters and principal advisor to the FEMA Administrator and the Regional Administrator in the area in which a disaster occurs.

FCOs assess what federal support is needed, establish field offices, and coordinate response and recovery activities in support of state, local, tribal, and territorial partners.


Typical duties include:


Assessing needs, establishing goals, and coordinating diverse partners in the delivery of federal disaster assistance programs in coordination with the affected State, Territory, or Tribe and the FEMA Regional Office.

Leading implementation of and providing guidance related to federal disaster assistance policy and programs, including grant programs, to improve and promote equitable recovery outcomes, reduce delays, and maximize the benefit of federal funds.

Leading and managing and overseeing diverse personnel and financial resources to achieve outcomes consistent with legal, regulatory, and policy requirements.

Managing media, community, and other external relations to communicate the availability of assistance to Congress, applicants, and the general public.

Working with officials and impacted communities to incorporate mitigation and resilience-building measures into recovery plans and implementation.

Working at the intersection of response and recovery operations, including understanding community disaster recovery issues and the interdependencies between relevant organizations and sectors.

Problem-solving and communicating effectively with senior leaders in an often politically sensitive environment.
Adhering to the highest ethical standards, to include honoring FEMA's core values of Compassion, Fairness, Integrity, and Respect.

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.
