About the Company

National EMR consistently seeks talented and hard-working individuals who are eager to assist impacted communities and first responders on an “as needed basis” as reservist employees.
Reservists are part of an elite, all-hazards response cadre who are available to work intermittently, commit to working when needed, and travel/deploy within 24-48 hours.
The cadre plays a key role in keeping National EMR ready to deploy the right people in the right jobs quickly in an emergency management situation.
These situations could include hurricane responses, mass shooting(s), wildfire responses, and more.
As a company we have responded to every major US incident that has occurred in the last 25 years.
We are proud of our record and reputation but recognize we can’t do this without our reservists.
Reservists are often retired local, state, or federal civil service employees who consider this line of work as a movement or a calling.
National EMR was built on the premise of filling gaps and serving those with the greatest needs in a disaster.
National EMR has spent most of our time in the emergency support functions (ESF) of mass care, emergency assistance, housing, human services, public health, and medical services as our core mission areas.
If you like to work with people that believe they can make a difference in the world, this is the company for you!
