Emerging Threat Senior Risk Analyst

Active TS / SCI required

Mission :

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Office of Emerging Threats (OET), formerly the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Office, was rebranded to meet new mission requirements on June 12, 2023.

OET is responsible for identifying, assessing, and informing FEMA and its mission partners of emerging threats that may significantly challenge the Nation’s core capabilities for incident response and recovery.

This realignment leverages existing resources to address a wider range of threats while maintaining legacy CBRN capabilities and programs.

Emerging threats include those that are expanding, evolving, or novel, such as cyberattacks, climate change, weapons of mass destruction technologies, etc.

and they bring new challenges to FEMA’s response and recovery mission. Such threats require close, proactive linkages between intelligence, data analytics, and assessed risk to drive FEMA and mission partner response and recovery capability development, planning, and operations.

OET work products involve extensive collaboration and coordination with a wide array of mission partners internal and external to FEMA.
