FEMA IS HIRING IN MICHIGAN
[https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20240315/fema-hiring-michigan] 

Release Date: 
March 15, 2024 

LANSING, MICH. – FEMA, in partnership with the state of Michigan, is
hiring state residents in Grand Rapids, Lansing and Detroit to assist
with recovery from the Aug. 24-26, 2023, severe storms, tornadoes and
flooding.

FEMA is currently seeking local candidates for positions within the
agency’s Operations, Logistics, Planning, Voluntary Agency Liaison
(VAL) and Interagency Recovery Coordination (IRC) sections. More
positions may be added later.

The initial appointment of 120 days can be extended or reduced
dependent 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 August disaster and help augment FEMA’s
disaster workforce.

Working with FEMA will allow Michigan residents to help their
neighbors with their recovery. Hiring locally is part of FEMA’s
commitment to the community. And hiring locally helps build
America’s disaster recovery workforce: many current FEMA employees
started as local hires after major disasters in their states.
