Reservists (On-Call)
FEMA consistently seeks talented and hard-working people who are eager to assist disaster survivors and first responders on an on-call basis as Reservist employees. They are the main FEMA workforce during an emergency or disaster.
Reservists travel, receive training, build professional networks and support those in need. When you become a reservist, you should know:
The work is available intermittently
Applicants must commit to working on an on-call basis
Be available to travel within 24-48 hours
Be deployed for 30 or more days
Our cadres are teams organized by skill and experience. Learn about the 23 cadres that represent the work we do at FEMA.
How to Apply
Reservists are also hired to a position within a Cadre based on their skills and experience. Cadres are groups of personnel organized by operational function. If interested, please review the cadre options and see where your skills and interests align.
