If you’ve got the time, expertise, and inclination to make a personal difference, be aware that FEMA is currently seeking “talented and hard-working” people to help support the response and recovery efforts. Immediate temporary jobs are available in several locations (e.g., California, Maryland, Nevada, Texas); and there is a need for on-call reservists to work on an intermittent basis due to the irregular nature of disasters, supporting survivors and first responders during disasters or emergencies.

FEMA’s official hurricane workforce job opportunities are posted (and continuously updated) on https://careers.fema.gov/hurricane-harvey.  There you’ll find both instructions for applying for a specific temporary job, and separate information about becoming a reservist. There’s even a page (https://www.fema.gov/hurricane-irma-rumor-control) dedicated to the information about the hurricane response and recovery misinformation that’s circulating online and through social media about Hurricane Irma.

Don’t think that FEMA’s the only one that needs on-call reservists.  In a not-so-future issue we’ll give you a first-hand account about how one SOLE chapter chair’s hosting of a state emergency management agency director as a chapter program speaker turned into his ‘recruitment’ and assignment as a state’s on-call reservist.
