When disaster strikes workers are needed immediately.
What typically are volunteer opportunities to serve, Mississippi Emergency Management Agency is offering a chance to be a disaster reservist, but as a paid worker.
MEMA director Lee Smithson is seeking to build a large group of trained personnel who can be called on a moment’s notice when needed to assistance in a large-scale disaster. It’s not a new program but Smithson claims it’s been under-utilized in the past. MEMA is hoping to have 300 reservists ready to go by the end of the year.
A disaster reservist must be at least 18-years-old. Applications are available online at msema.org.
Workers will be paid $23.00 an hour.
