What is a disaster response team?

A Disaster Response Team (DRT) job involves providing emergency assistance, relief, and support during natural disasters, humanitarian crises, and other emergencies. Team members work on-site to assess damage, coordinate resources, and aid affected communities. Responsibilities may include search and rescue, medical aid, shelter setup, and logistics management.

This role requires strong problem-solving skills, adaptability, and the ability to work under high-pressure conditions.

Disaster Response Team members often work in dynamic and unpredictable environments, ranging from natural disaster sites to urban emergencies. Schedules can be irregular, with the need to respond quickly to incidents at any time, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Teams typically operate under a rotating on-call system to ensure coverage and rapid deployment. Collaboration with local authorities, medical personnel, and relief organizations is common, and teamwork is essential for effective and safe operations. Flexibility and readiness to work in challenging conditions are key aspects of this role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the disaster response team position?

To thrive as a Disaster Response Team member, you need expertise in emergency management, first aid, crisis intervention, and often a relevant degree or comparable experience in public safety or healthcare. Familiarity with incident command systems (ICS), radio communication devices, and certifications such as CPR, FEMA, or OSHA are commonly expected. Strong teamwork, resilience, decision-making, and adaptability are essential soft skills in stressful and rapidly evolving situations. These competencies are crucial for delivering effective, coordinated responses under pressure and ensuring the safety of both the public and team members.

About the Role

Essential HealthCare Solutions LLC is building a roster of Florida-certified Nursing Assistants to provide hands-on support care at employee shelters during hurricane and severe-weather events in Southwest Florida. Working under the supervision of a licensed nurse, our CNAs help care for the crews and emergency personnel working to keep the power on — supporting comfort, basic needs, and a safe, clean shelter environment. This is on-call, activation-based work ideal for CNAs who want meaningful disaster-response experience and flexible, well-compensated deployments. Assignments typically run 24 hours to 14 consecutive days.

What You’ll Do

  • Provide basic support care to shelter occupants under the supervision of a licensed nurse
  • Measure and record vital signs as directed by the nurse
  • Assist occupants with comfort, hydration, mobility, and daily needs
  • Observe occupants and promptly report any changes in condition to the supervising nurse
  • Support infection-prevention tasks — hygiene, PPE, and surface cleaning/disinfection
  • Help set up, organize, and maintain the shelter medical station and supply inventory
  • Assist the nursing team during medical incidents within the CNA scope of practice
  • Maintain basic logs and records as directed
  • Help keep the medical and shelter areas safe, clean, and orderly

    What You’ll Bring

  • Active, unencumbered Florida CNA certification — required
  • Current BLS certification — required
  • Ability to pass a background screening
  • Availability to deploy on short notice and work extended 12-hour shifts in shelter/field conditions
  • Dependable team player comfortable taking direction from licensed nurses in a fast-paced environment
  • Preferred: hospital, long-term care, shelter, or disaster-response experience; ICS/FEMA training

    Schedule & Conditions

    This is activation-based work. Deployments are triggered by storm events (up to 72 hours before landfall, through impact, and into recovery). You will work 12-hour shifts — including nights, weekends, and holidays — for up to 14 consecutive days per deployment, in shelter and temporary-facility settings. Meals and lodging are provided during deployment, and PPE is supplied.

    Why Join Essential HealthCare Solutions

  • Competitive activation and deployment pay
  • Meals and lodging covered during deployment
  • Flexible, on-call commitment — deploy when storms activate
  • Meaningful work supporting Southwest Florida’s storm-response operations
