Disaster Recovery Reserve Corps

Multiple positions within Pickens, Oconee, Anderson, Abbeville, Greenwood, Greenville, McCormick & Edgefield counties. The Disaster Recovery Reserve Corps is a unique opportunity for individuals to serve their community after future disasters by preparing to fill temporary positions needed to assist disaster survivors. Former, and retired state agency and private business employees, and/or military retirees and veterans are encouraged to apply. Senior or graduate level students are also welcome.

Associates selected will receive $20.00 per hour and be reimbursed mileage for two training sessions each year. The compensation received when activated will depend on the specific post-disaster position filled. During activation periods, associates will be matched to positions based on the needs of the state and their individual backgrounds, skill sets, locations, willingness to travel, and self-defined work and physical limitations.

The DRRC will also prepare associates for related full-time field opportunities by growing knowledge and building skills.
