When disaster strikes, America looks to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Now FEMA looks to you. Join our team and use your talent to support Americans in their times
of greatest need. FEMA prepares the nation for all hazards and manages Federal response and
recovery efforts following any national incident. We foster innovation, reward performance and
creativity, and provide challenges on a routine basis with a well-skilled, knowledgeable, high
performance workforce.
FEMA Region VIII, Denver, Colorado, is recruiting for its Regional Incident Management
Assistance Team (IMAT). The IMAT provides FEMA Region VIII with an early and selfsufficient presence at an incident or incident threatened location and provides assistance to State,
Territorial, Tribal and local emergency management officials to enable them to be as effective as
possible in responding to the needs of their citizens and communities. Additionally, the IMAT
provides real-time incident situational awareness for Regional decision makers and other
coordinators of assistance.
IMAT employees are subject to a 24-hour on call work schedule in the event of an emergency
and must be willing and prepared to deploy to emergency sites with little or no notice. The teams
are required to deploy on scene within 12 hours of notification.
FEMA Region VIII will be soliciting resumes and applications to staff the following IMAT
