Job Title: Emergency Management Specialist (Recovery)
Job Type: Permanent
Job Description:
LOCATION: HARRISBURG, PA

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 [1] 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 support FEMA's Region Three Office as an Emergency
Management Specialist (Recovery). Typical assignments of the incumbent
include:
- Serving as the main liaison to the State Public Assistance Officer
- Providing guidance and direction on Public Assistance policies and
initiatives
- Completing special projects relating to the betterment of the Public
Assistance program
- Leading the execution of highly complex and politically sensitive projects
- Developing and maintaining relationships with State, Tribal, and local
governments, as well as certain Private Non-Profit organizations to ensure
the success of Public Assistance
Programs
- Serving in a senior leadership capacity on disaster operations
- Delivering recovery training
- Serving as a technical specialist on disaster recovery
- Facilitating high-profile meetings

Promotion Potential: Positions filled under Stafford Act regulations
generally do not have documented promotion potential; however, dependent on
an employee’s ability to perform higher level duties, the continuing need
for an employee to perform work associated with a higher level position, and
administrative recommendation and approval, promotions may be earned by CORE
employees.
