The Disaster Sheltering/Housing Field Coordinator (AKA Shelter Task Force Coordinator) plays a critical role in field operations supporting disaster sheltering and housing transition efforts. This position acts as a key point of contact for local jurisdictions, ensuring coordinated implementation of shelter solutions such as travel trailers or hotel placements. The coordinator manages day-to-day operational logistics—including installations, inspections, equipment deployment, and site recertifications—and works directly with county emergency managers, law enforcement, and EMS to support survivors’ housing needs. Candidates should be comfortable working in high-pressure field environments with shifting priorities and must be capable of coordinating multiple operational streams simultaneously.
