What else do I need to know?

At FEMA, our mission to help people before, during and after disasters; so, every employee at FEMA has a role in emergency management. During large-scale or unprecedented events, all FEMA employees may be called upon to support response or recovery efforts, either virtually or in person. Deployments may require irregular work hours, work at locations other than your official duty station, and may include duties other than those specified in your official position description. If deployed in person, travel may last weeks, with little advance notice, and may require relocation to emergency sites.

As a Reservist Employee, your role is to support response or recovery efforts. Reservists are intermittent, on-call employees. Please note that this is not a full-time position, and you only are paid when deployed. Deployment frequency and length varies based on disaster response need. Due to the irregular nature of disasters, Reservist employees are not guaranteed regular recurring hours, deployments, or renewal of employment.

The Civilian Reservist Emergency Workforce (CREW) Act protects the job rights of FEMA Reservists while they are deployed to disasters, emergencies, and critical trainings by including FEMA Reservists under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployments Rights Act (USERRA). This means that if you hold another job, you are able to deploy as a FEMA reservist and your job will be protected. It also protects you against penalization, discrimination, or loss of employee benefits as a result of your deployments to disasters, emergencies, and critical trainings.
