The Federal Emergency Management Agency is hiring residents of Puerto Rico to help with relief efforts on the island following the devastating Category 4 strike by Hurricane Maria.
“FEMA is looking for individuals to work in customer service and logistics. If you are interested and a current resident of Puerto Rico, email fema-workforce-caribbean@fema.dhs.gov your resume and include ‘Puerto Rico’ in the subject line,” reads the brief job posting.
According to CBS News correspondent David Begnaud, the agency plans to hire 1,000 people to fill the positions.
Although FEMA’s call for applicants contains limited information, the agency’s website sheds a little light on what the jobs entail.
