The agency is looking for applications for 11 positions around Columbus, “ranging from administrative and logistics work to coordinating recovery support with local voluntary agency partners and helping survivors navigate their application process with FEMA.”
While the positions are set for 120-day appointments, they could be extended based on the needs at the time.
