I’ve had several inquiries about becoming a FEMA reservist, and I’m excited to share that this is a fantastic opportunity to serve our communities during times of disaster!

### What is a FEMA Reservist?

As a FEMA reservist, you’ll provide critical support in disaster response and recovery efforts. This role allows you to make a real difference while gaining valuable experience in emergency management.


The following is a non-extensive list of the things that a reservist could find themselves doing, dependent on which Cadre they get hired into.

Here are some examples of the kinds of jobs you might do:

  1. Disaster Assistance Specialist: Help individuals and families apply for disaster assistance, providing guidance and support throughout the process.
  2. Logistics Coordinator: Manage the distribution of supplies and resources, ensuring that essential materials reach the areas that need them most.
  3. Public Information Officer: Communicate important updates and safety information to the public through various channels, including social media, press releases, and community outreach.
  4. Hazard Mitigation Specialist: Assist in planning and implementing strategies to reduce the impact of future disasters, working with communities to improve resilience.
  5. Emergency Management Analyst: Analyze data related to disasters and response efforts, helping to inform decision-making and improve operational effectiveness.
  6. Field Operations Support: Provide on-the-ground assistance during disasters, including setting up emergency shelters, coordinating volunteer efforts, and assessing damage.
  7. Community Outreach Specialist: Engage with local communities to educate them about preparedness and recovery resources, fostering a culture of resilience.
  8. Administrative Support: Handle essential administrative tasks that keep operations running smoothly, such as record-keeping and reporting.

### Referral Program

If you’re interested, there’s a referral program in place! I’m here to assist you with the paperwork and guide you through the hiring process. Together, we can ensure you get started on this rewarding path.

### Understanding the CREW Act and USERRA

The CREW Act enhances support for emergency responders and is closely related to USERRA (Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act). This means that as a reservist, your civilian job protections are reinforced when you respond to national emergencies. You can serve knowing your job is secure!
