FEMA
Advisory
Emergency Manager Exchange Nominations
Extended to Dec. 15
State,
local, tribal, territorial emergency managers, join us! The 2023 Emergency
Manager Exchange (EMX) is seeking four dedicated public servants who work in
non-federal governmental offices or programs to spend time at FEMA in a 4-6
month paid work exchange.
Staff Exchange
The EMX staff
exchange brings non-federal emergency managers to FEMA to work alongside
leadership and staff from FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery or Resilience.
State, local, tribal, and territorial emergency managers bring new perspectives
and guide FEMA on how to improve our programs.
In an exciting
update for 2023, the exchange will be fully reciprocal. As the participating
government organization sends their employee to work at FEMA, in return, a
full-time FEMA employee will be sent to support that non-federal government
office or program.
Reimbursed Costs
For the duration
of the assignment, FEMA will reimburse the participant’s home organization for
the cost of the participant’s salary up to the federal GS-13 level, plus
benefits. The exchange is authorized under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act
(5 CFR part 34) mobility program. Where consistent with FEMA’s travel policies,
this program includes travel costs and per diem in Washington, D.C.
The visiting
FEMA employee is available to address capability gaps identified by the
non-federal government organization in their nomination letter. Nominations are
open through December 15, 2022.
New Perspectives
This staff exchange
provides FEMA and its partners with a new way to collaborate in support of
emergency management priorities. This exchange opportunity highlights the “2022-2026
FEMA Strategic Plan” focus on strengthening the emergency management
workforce.
This opportunity
brings FEMA hand in hand with our emergency management partners and
stakeholders as we work together to increase disaster resilience, and
ultimately, help people, before, during and after disasters.
Nomination is by Home Organization
Each
participant’s non-federal government organization must nominate their applicant
to the program. Consistent with Federal ethics obligations and guidance, while
at FEMA, non-federal government exchange participants may not work on issues
that directly involve their home jurisdiction of employment.
