Duties
What will I do in this position if hired?
In this position, you will serve as an Emergency Management Specialist. Typical assignments include
- Managing, and coordinating with other entities the response to unintentional and/or unintentional crises, disasters and other humanitarian emergencies, hazards, or natural and man-made/technological incidents.
- Maintaining national situational awareness of the Agency's operational status and monitoring emerging incidents or potential incidents with possible operational consequences.
- Serving on a Watch Team that maintains a 24-hour regional situational awareness to conduct analysis, determine possible impacts, identify potential and occurring incidents within their respective areas of responsibility, and report to the Regional Administrator while directly supporting response operations.
- Providing senior management officials with relevant information required to direct Federal responses to Local, State, Tribal, Territorial, Regional, and National emergencies.
- Providing coordination and assistance to DHS Departments, FEMA Regions, Other Federal Agencies, and other government entities to ensure the capability to continue essential functions during any event or incident.
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.
