Additionally, FEMA coordinates the federal government’s role in preparing for, preventing, mitigating the effects of, responding to, and recovering from all domestic disasters, whether natural or man-made, including acts of terror.

Currently, there is a need for various temporary jobs in select locations. Some of these jobs include customer service specialists, logistics specialists, translators and Interpreters, environmental technicians, disaster survivor assistance, information technology.
