ORGANIZATION & OPERATION
Founded in 2017, Global Emergency Relief, Recovery & Reconstruction (GER3) is a non-profit organization that supports crisis-affected communities to build back better. GER3 is committed to using sustainable, culturally appropriate and community-led interventions.
The January 2025 Los Angeles wildfires claimed the lives of at least 17 people and charred over 45,000 acres of land. Over 10,000 structures are reported to have been destroyed by the Eaton fire. Over 130,000 individuals have evacuated the area and face an uncertain return to their communities. More than 1.2 million people were directly impacted by the wildfires, with thousands losing their homes, farms, and businesses. Approximately 85,000 individuals sought refuge in temporary shelters, while many more were forced to relocate with relatives or friends. Many community centers, which served as gathering places and resource hubs, were either destroyed or rendered inoperable, leaving residents without critical support systems.
California’s wildfires have increasingly shifted from being rural to urban events that devastate entire residential and commercial neighborhoods, highlighting the urgent need to implement robust community emergency preparedness planning, environmental regeneration, and fire mitigation techniques. Due to the vast devastation left in the wake of the Eaton Fire, GER3 is committed to addressing these challenges by implementing technical, evidence-based strategies to adapt and strengthen community resilience to fire events, incorporating fire resistant building techniques, public education, and nature-based solutions.
POSITION OVERVIEW
The Home Wildfire Preparedness Foreman will oversee daily construction and landscaping operations related to GER3’s Home Hardening and Fire-Resistant Landscaping initiatives. This includes supervising up to four crews, coordinating subcontractors, ensuring adherence to safety and quality standards, and implementing fire-resilient building and landscaping practices. The ideal candidate has strong technical and leadership experience, is familiar with wildfire mitigation strategies, and is committed to empowering local communities through safe, durable, and climate-resilient reconstruction practices.
