Our summer internship is full-time for 10-weeks beginning in early June and ending in early August. Work may be performed in a hybrid capacity from Baton Rouge, LA or Tallahassee, FL, or remotely from any U.S. location. At this time, we are unable to provide relocation nor housing assistance.
This is a learning and exposure focused internship, not a placement into one function. Interns move through each service line on a set rotation and work alongside the consultants doing the work that day.
Preparedness and Insurance (Planning)
This rotation sits on the front end of the lifecycle, before a disaster hits. Interns gain exposure to emergency operations plan development, hazard and vulnerability assessments, and exercise design across tabletop, functional and full scale formats used to test those plans. Additionally, Long term recovery planning that helps a jurisdiction come back stronger than before. Interns will also see how insurance and risk transfer strategies, including catastrophe modeling and risk pooling, factor into a client’s broader resilience posture.
Emergency and Disaster Operations
This rotation sits inside active response. Interns gain exposure to Emergency Operations Center structure and staffing, Incident Command System and National Incident Management System practices, resource typing and mutual aid requests, and the situational awareness products, such as situation reports and leadership briefings, that keep a response moving and stakeholders informed.
This rotation picks up once the response phase winds down and communities begin to rebuild. Interns gain exposure to FEMA Public Assistance program delivery, damage assessment, documentation, cost recovery and grant compliance.
Specific tasks and projects will vary by rotation and current caseload. This internship is not a guarantee of hands on ownership of any particular project. What is guaranteed is exposure, learning and time with the teams doing the work.
