The Public Assistance positions will be embedded within FEMA disaster locations, where you will provide essential technical assistance. Your responsibilities will include conducting site visits and damage assessments of disaster-affected infrastructure, collaborating with State and local governments to develop detailed damage descriptions, scopes of work (SOW), and cost estimates for restoration and hazard mitigation measures.
