DMAT Disaster Teams

Hi!

Hoping someone can help me out. I have invested my career and education into working with disasters. I have been scouring USAJOBS and am on search notification lists --- for more than one year. I have not yet even seen a position posted. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if NDMS/FEMA really only opens positions this infrequently? Anyone know anything about this? I am so eager to get started in disasters, but can't seem to find a job :(.

Thanks all!

Google around for your state's DMAT, e.g. Florida DMAT or something. I found onr day by happenstance that my state's DMAT CNO worked in the same clinic I do. This person said "we'd love to have you" and gave a cursory overview of recruitment, but it's not quite what I'm looking for in this season of life. I'm trying for army reserves as a NP, but that's probably not happening either, lol.
