FEMA Hiring Georgians for Hurricane Recovery Efforts

FEMA has announced plans to hire Georgians as part of its strategy to lead hurricane recovery efforts effectively. By prioritizing local hires, the agency aims to utilize the expertise of individuals familiar with the region's specific needs and challenges. The positions offered are typically for a duration of 120 days, although there is potential for extensions based on ongoing agency requirements.
