Emergency Management Specialist
Federal Emergency Management Agency, San Juan, San Juan, us, 00902
Duties
In this Emergency Management Specialist position, you will serve as a senior Emergency Management Specialist providing advice to senior level staff and partners engaged in supporting disaster recovery for communities and individuals.
Typical assignments include:
Administering contract requirements used by FEMA.
Analyzing and evaluating data elements to provide reports, and delivering briefings.
Conducting housing damage assessments and performing applicant casework.
Deploying as a coordinator for all inspection related activities, to the Joint Field Office.
Supporting the delivery and coordination of program training.
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. 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.
Conditions of Employment To ensure the accomplishment of our mission, DHS requires every employee to be reliable and trustworthy. All selected applicants must undergo, successfully pass, and maintain a background investigation for Public Trust as a condition of placement into this position. This may include a credit check after initial job qualifications are determined, a review of financial issues, such as delinquency in the payment of debts, child support and/or tax obligations, as well as certain criminal offenses and illegal use or possession of drugs.
You must be a U.S. citizen to apply for this position.
You must successfully pass a background investigation.
Selective Service registration required.
You must be able to obtain and maintain a Government credit card.
You must be able to deploy with little or no advance notice to anywhere in the United States and its territories for an extended period of time.

Qualifications All qualifications and eligibility requirements must be met by the closing date of the announcement.
To qualify for this Emergency Management Specialist position at the IC‑12 level, you must possess one full year of specialized experience equivalent to at least the IC‑11 level in the Federal government, which has equipped you with the skills needed to successfully perform the duties of the position.

Developing programs or strategies to improve recovery services to disaster victims.
