Preference is for the position to be based in Florida, but consideration will be provided to candidates residing in Georgia or South Carolina.  This is a term-limited, benefits eligible position expected to last through September 2026, with the opportunity to extend based on business need. This is a hybrid position. 

Helene made landfall in the Florida Big Bend on Thursday, September 26, 2024, before continuing northward and weakening across Georgia, northwest South Carolina, western North Carolina, eastern Tennessee, and Kentucky. Helene brought devastating wind damage and catastrophic flash flooding to these areas before merging with an upper level low centered over the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys. Just two weeks after Helene devasted parts of Florida, Major Hurricane Milton made landfall near Siesta Key on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, as a category 3 hurricane. Milton approached Florida as an extremely dangerous category 5 hurricane before it encountered increasing wind shear. Despite shear imparting some weakening effect on the storm's winds, Milton's wind field expanded as it approached the Florida Peninsula, extending impacts far and away from the storm's center. Impacts to east central Florida were significant, including a tornado outbreak that produced at least 7 confirmed tornadoes (additional surveys are ongoing) and hurricane-force wind gusts that downed trees and power lines. Additionally, on the northern side of Milton, torrential rainfall produced total rainfall amounts of 10 to 15 inches (and higher), leading to localized flooding and rises on area rivers and creeks. The American Red Cross will be standing up a long-term recovery field structure across Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina to provide recovery programming and services to individuals, households, and communities affected by the hurricanes.
