Emergency Job Matching

Staffing is critical as we respond to emergencies. In order to staff emergency responses, current employees may be temporarily reassigned to positions to support response efforts. Additionally, public sector partner agencies and volunteers may be utilized to support response efforts.

Shasta County Support Services staff review all forms submitted on this site from public sector employees and volunteers who can be temporarily assigned to a position in support of ongoing response efforts. Any such assignments would be temporary and based on the needs of the County for essential work during the emergency. Positions may include assisting with the call center, emergency shelter operations, supporting recovery efforts, medical, managing information through a variety of mediums, and more.

County Employees

County employees are designated Disaster Service Workers. This means that during a declared emergency, all County employees are required by law to be at the disposal of the Director of Emergency Services to respond to the emergency. This is true whether an employee is teleworking, working on-site – including at the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) or at another job site or department that is not the employee's normal worksite – or not working for other reasons.

County employees are asked to complete the form below if they have not already done so.
