News Release

FEMA is Hiring in West Virginia 

CHARLESTON, W.VA. – If you’re passionate about helping your
neighbors in West Virginia recover from April’s storms and
tornadoes, FEMA may have a job for you. 

FEMA is hiring additional staff to assist with recovery from the April
2-6, 2024, severe storms, tornadoes and flooding. 

The agency is currently seeking local candidates for positions within
the agency’s Civil Rights, External Affairs, Logistics, and
Mitigation divisions. 

The following positions will be available for applications:

CIVIL RIGHTS DIVISION

	* Civil Rights Advisor/Analyst

LOGISTICS DIVISION

	* Logistics Specialist 

MITIGATION DIVISION

	* Mitigation Specialist for Public Projects

EXTERNAL AFFAIRS DIVISION

	* Program Liaison Specialist
	* Media Relations Specialist
	* Intergovernmental Affairs Specialist
	* Creative Services Specialist

 

The initial appointment of 120 days can be extended or reduced
depending on mission needs. Federal benefits are offered, such as:
Eligible Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) enrollment; federal
holiday pay; and accruing four hours of sick leave per pay period. 

Local hires provide an economic stimulus to communities where jobs
have been lost due to the April disaster and help augment FEMA’s
disaster workforce. 

Working with FEMA will allow West Virginia residents to help neighbors
with their recovery. Hiring locally is part of FEMA’s commitment to
the community and helps build America’s disaster recovery workforce.
In fact, many current FEMA employees started as local hires after
major disasters in their states.
