15-Day National Engagement Period:
Mass Care, Public Works, and Geospatial Information System
Resource Typing Definitions and Job Title/Position Qualifications
 

 

Today, FEMA releases 17 resource typing definitions and job title/position qualifications for a 15-day period to allow for national engagement, review and feedback. These definitions address Mass Care, Public Works and Geospatial Information System communities of practice. The guidance contained in these resource types and job title/position qualifications provides a standardized set of criteria for use by the whole community when inventorying resources and working to sustain, or build resources needed to deliver associated core capabilities.

 

The resource typing definitions and/or job titles and position qualifications are:

  1. Shelter Dormitory Team Leader
  2. Shelter Management Team
  3. Shelter Function Leader
  4. Shelter Registration Team Leader
  5. Mobile Kitchen Unit

FEMA developed these resource typing definitions and job title/position qualifications in collaboration with emergency management, public safety practitioners, and subject matter experts. These stakeholders suggested guidance for specific overall functions, components, capabilities, and ordering specifications for this resource.

This guidance addresses standardized criteria for requests that are made under a variety of mutual aid scenarios from automatic aid to mutual aid provided through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) during declared disasters.

 

This guidance uses the National Incident Management System (NIMS) to provide a common and standard understanding about the tools and resources needed to sustain, build, and deliver the core capabilities necessary to achieve a secure and resilient nation.
