National Preparedness requires efforts to be made across five mission areas: prevention, protection, response, recovery, and mitigation. The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) mandate is to build and maintain a capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards. Most of the preparedness efforts FEMA conducts are focused on all-hazards preparedness. Regardless of the cause, FEMA maintains the personnel, supplies, authorities, tools, and capabilities to respond to any hazard.The mission of OET is to identify, assess, and inform FEMA and its mission partners of emerging threats that may significantly challenge the Nation’s core capabilities for incident response and recovery. This mission is consistent with the Administrator’s 2022 Annual Planning Guidance and Objective 3.2 (“Posture FEMA to meet current and emerging threats”) of the 2022-2026 FEMA Strategic Plan. It is also aligned with FEMA Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) doctrine.Goal 1: Develop a collaborative focal point within FEMA to work with multiple entities internal and external to the agency to identify and assess emerging threats and corresponding risks to inform and enable FEMA and its mission partners to respond and recover from such threats.Goal 2: Using a collaborative partnership approach, translate analysis of threats and related risks into actionable guidance and inform the development of specialized plans, resources, and capabilities to address gaps related to specific emerging threats in coordination with relevant intra and interagency and mission partners.Goal 3: Enhance FEMA’s capabilities to respond to and recover from emerging threats once such threats are actualized effectively and efficiently.Goal 4: Strengthen partnerships and information sharing between FEMA and mission partners, the private sector, academia, and the R&D community to further enhance awareness and understanding of emerging threats and drive corresponding risk management approaches.Position:Bryce Space and Technology is looking for an experienced FEMA analyst with Geospatial Information System (GIS), emerging threat identification, risk analysis, CBRN/Non CBRN Threat assessment experience to support the DHS FEMA, Office of Emerging Threats Professional and Technical Services Contract.Position Responsibilities:
