Keep in mind that not all emergency management positions are found within the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Almost every federal agency will have at least one emergency preparedness or continuity role, so don’t limit your search to FEMA. After locating a federal emergency management position, identify the same or equivalent position on a state or local government website or you could identify an equivalent private sector position (i.e., at a local utility or major corporation).
