Duties
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is calling on those who want to help protect American interests and secure our Nation. DHS Components work collectively to prevent terrorism; secure borders and our transportation systems; protect the President and other dignitaries; enforce and administer immigration laws; safeguard cyberspace; and ensure resilience to disasters. We achieve these vital missions through a diverse workforce spanning hundreds of occupations. Make an impact; join DHS.
When disaster strikes, America looks to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Now FEMA looks to you. Join our team and use your talent to support Americans in their times of greatest need. FEMA prepares the nation for all hazards and manages Federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident. We foster innovation, reward performance and creativity, and provide challenges on a routine basis with a well-skilled, knowledgeable, high performance workforce. Please visit www.fema.gov for additional information.
EMERGENCY ASSIGNMENT: 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.
In this position, you will serve as a Floodplain Management Program Specialist performing work that involves interpreting and applying floodplain management regulations, policies and guidance of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to monitor and evaluate floodplain management programs of the communities participating in the NFIP. Typical assignments include:
- Review and evaluate NFIP enrollment and reinstatement packages to support community participation in the NFIP.
- Support and enhance existing Regional and Field cooperative relationships with States to support community implementation of the NFIP.
- Review, monitor and evaluate floodplain management programs implemented by States, Tribes and local governments for compliance with NFIP requirements. Hold NFIP participating communities accountable for their agreement to adopt and enforce the floodplain management regulations that improve their community resilience.
- Provide technical assistance and recommendations to improve floodplain management programs.
- Educate communities on the benefits of preparedness and mitigation thereby preventing the need for increased disaster recovery funding via programs like FEMA IA and PA.
- Work with Headquarters, Regional and field staff to develop and implement strategic approaches to support Substantial Improvement/Substantial Damage (SI/SD) compliance and guide flood hazard resistant repairs and reconstruction post-disaster.
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.
