2027 Summer Intern, Disaster Management (Baton Rouge, LA; Tallahassee, FL; Remote)

Disasters move through a lifecycle: preparedness, responseand recovery, with mitigation running underneath all three. ICF's Emergency and Disaster Management practice works across that entire lifecycle for federal, stateand local government clients, organized into three service lines: Preparedness and Insurance, Emergency and Disaster Operations, and Disaster Recovery. This internship rotatesan undergraduate student through all three, so the arc of a disaster (the planning before, the operations during and the rebuilding after) is something they see connected, not siloed.

Our summer internship is full-time for 10-weeksbeginning in early June and ending in early August. Work may be performed in a hybrid capacity from Baton Rouge, LA or Tallahassee, FL, or remotely from any U.S. location. At this time, we are unable to provide relocation norhousing assistance.
