[lbo-talk] FEMA looking for 1000 pairs of good (social) workers ...

[Leigh Meyers]

Healthy, self-starting, disciplined social workers with first aid training, 
camping or street survival experience, the ability to do significant walking
in rubber boots, and the ability to write reports.

The fine print:

<...>
This initial request is for full-time career firefighters that are employed by municipal government and sponsored by that municipality because of the way that salaries and expenses will be reimbursed. We 
will include the volunteer fire service in the next phase. They must be:

· Physically capable of performing manual tasks under severe conditions;

· Experienced in working with minimum supervision;

· Capable of living in austere, severe living conditions with minimal or no creature comforts 
for a period of at least 30 days;

· Free of medical condition(s) that would prevent them from working in these conditions 
for this period of time; and, 

· Able to work within the ICS, provide basic first aid, and follow orders.

The work is non-operational community relations focused activities that consist of direct outreach 
to persons in the affected areas. They will assist victims in understanding how they will go about the process of getting Federal assistance, distributing information, providing minimal first-aid, and taking 
reports. The work will be outside, exposed to the elements and will require significant walking.
